Hiking

Very beautiful castle, with a neatly landscaped garden. For 7 euros per person you are already inside and you can quietly explore the castle for a few hours. At the top of the towers you have a great view over the Rhine and you can see for miles.
In the castle itself you can view the impressive rooms and take nice photos!
OPENING HOURS
From the end of March to the beginning of November daily from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm

Drachenburg Castle is a castle on the Drachenfels in Koenigswinter. It was built in record time from 1882 to 1884 in the style of historicism (especially neo-early gothic on the exterior and neo-renaissance in the interior) as a representative residence for Stephan von Sarter, who, however, never lived in the castle. After his death, the castle was subjected to several changes in use.
