    Hiking

    The Petersberger Bittweg is the last of the original four processional paths that led to the pilgrimage chapel on Petersberg in the Siebengebirge. It consists of twelve, originally 14 stations in the form of processional altars and crosses from the 17th and 18th centuries. The Bittweg with its route and the individual stations is a listed building. (Source: Wikipedia)

    The Bittweg is a very special way of the cross. Candles burn in the evening.

    Hiking

    In Bonn and the Rhein-Sieg district, 22 BTHVN steles were created, which are intended both to link all the places of his youth and to sustainably strengthen the city of Bonn as Beethoven's city.
    In the Siebengebirge three steles will describe the life and work of Beethoven in the Heisterbach monastery, on the Petersberg and on the Drachenfels plateau.
    So that these steles do not stand alone in these certainly striking places for Beethoven, they were connected with a hiking trail.
