Nibelungenhalle, Dragon Cave and Reptile Zoo

Dragon Cave & Reptile Zoo, open from March to November, offers not only historical but also various reptiles, birds and insects from North and South America, Australia, India, Indonesia, Africa, Madagascar, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands.

The Nibelungenhalle, opened in 1913 for Richard Wagner's 100th birthday,
shows one of the most important collections of paintings on the "Ring of the Nibelung". The Nibelungen saga was the reason for building the hall here on the Drachenfels in honor of Richard Wagner. The domed building in the "Late Art Nouveau" shows mystical paintings of the four operas Rheingold, Valkyrie, Siegfried and Götterdämmerung.
In the apse with the Wagner relief on the Drachenfels Trachitstein you can see paintings of "Parsifal".(nibelungenhalle.de/sehenswuerdigungen-drachenfels/nibelungenhalle/)
