Hiking
Ernst Heinrich Carl von Dechen, called Heinrich, (* 25 March 1800 in Berlin; † 15 February 1889 in Bonn) was a professor of mining, geologist and inventor.
The monument looks freshly renovated (beginning of 2021) and from here you have a nice view of Drachenfels, Drachenburg and the Rhine Valley.
