Hiking

335 meters above sea level: The Petersberg towers visible from afar above the Rhine Valley in the Siebengebirge. And it not only has an exposed position geographically, but also of great historical importance. For decades the summit was the guest house of the Bonn Republic. After the Second World War, the Allies initially used the traditional hotel as their headquarters. From the 1950s onwards, the Federal Republic of Germany housed its state guests here - and in the 1980s it turned the building into a guest house itself.

Hiking

When you arrive on the Petersberg, you will be rewarded with a great view of the Siebengebirge or take a break in the beer garden.

Hiking

The Petersberg is always fascinating. The view, the traces of early settlement, the time as a government guest house, and the place where the drunk Leonid Brezhnev spontaneously wrecked his gifted SL-Mercedes.
