    From down here you have a great view of the southern tip of the Drachenfels massif and finally found the "kite" you were looking for:
    The striking rocky outcrop looks like a petrified dragon's head - and that's where it got its name from!

      On the south rock you can see the namesake of the rock...
      To do this, however, you have to look at the southern rock from below - preferably on an access path for rock climbers at the fork in the path to the ascent/descent in the direction of "Seven Ways".
      If necessary, just muddle your way up to the rock.
      Then you can also visit the Drachenkammer.
      The Buntsandsteinfels is absolutely impressive in its form.

        Simply an imposing rock formation. Worth a hike in every season.
        Attention. nature reserve. No storage.
