    Tips

    January 9, 2019

    If you climb the Drachenfels, the highest elevation of the northern Palatinate Forest at 571m, you can expect many exciting discoveries:
    Two viewing platforms (Westfels and Südfels) offer panoramic views of the Palatinate Forest, up to Donnersberg and Hunsrück.
    Anyone who finds the way along rock formations, down sandstone steps, in the dragon chamber and dragon cave knows where the mountain gets its name from: Was this the scene of Siegfried's battle with the dragon from the Nibelung saga?

      A few meters before the southern rock tip there is a narrow passage through which one can walk
      can descend to the viewing chamber, a cave open on both sides of the rock.
      Great views and there is also a stone dragon head here.
      Well who discovers him?

        It has a great view over large parts of the Palatinate Forest. Nice area and interesting for children to climb.
