Blick auf die Drachenburg

At the time of the advent season, Schloss Drachenburg is always a Christmas market of a special kind.

In the middle of the forest, the little dairy offers a tasty treat and space to breathe.

A trip to Drachenburg Castle is a "must do" for every resident and holidaymaker in the region;)
Also this year there is the "castle lighting".
February 17 - March 26, 2017, Friday - Sunday from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Adults € 9.00, children up to 17 years € 4.00.

Dairy farms

The first look after a short climb is rewarding.

The place is perfect for taking pictures

Museum to visit, also on the hike ...

very beautiful late romantic castle

Very impressed concluded. Currently closed. Seems to be privately inhabited too.

Drachenburg Castle, built in 1882-1884, is the youngest of the castles and palaces on the Middle Rhine.
The interior is exceptionally gorgeous.
After its extensive restoration, visitors can experience the home decor of the late 19th century in the refurbished rooms. The large landscape park invites you to linger and stroll. The history of the castle comes to life in exhibitions on the eventful history of the castle and the restoration measures. A visit to the museum on the history of nature conservation in the car hall rounds off the visit.

very nice vantage point overlooking the valley

My son and I were particularly taken with the golden deer.

A nice view, but the building looks very different from behind. The park is very beautiful and if everything is ingrown it will make a lot more.

From here a great view of the castle

View of the Drachenfels castle. Nice hiking trail, also possible to ride a mountain bike

The pictures show Drachenburg Castle, not Drachenfels Castle.

Several episodes of the series 'Bares für Rares' with Horst Lichter were filmed here.
