    Hiking

    The Drachenfels is always worth a visit, no matter the season. There are several ways to climb it. A cog railway also takes you up or down.

    Hiking

    The ascent to the Drachenfels plateau alone is worth seeing and can be mastered both on foot and by train. There are viewpoints of the Rhine and the surrounding area in various sections of the ascent. With good visibility you can let a wide view wander, which is very worthwhile 😊 From the Drachenfels plateau you can u. a. also use the entrance to the 2nd stage of the Rheinstieg 😋
