Stone Cairns on Nonnenstromberg Summit

Only a small path leads over the Nonnenstromberg. But he is then quite easy to find: the long-distance hiking trail Rheinsteig leads along it. We simply follow the Rhine entry sign.

After you have climbed the mountain, it is a must for every pilgrim to put a stone on the pyramid there, this feeling of having reached the summit or destination is uniquely beautiful, as proof of the obligatory stone

The 335 meter high Nonnenstromberg is one of the seven eponymous mountains in the Siebengebirge. According to a traditional legend, the name comes from two pious women who sought refuge there during the Crusades. In fact, it dates back to the Middle Ages, when the nearby Petersberg was still called Stromberg. Because the Nonnenstromberg was a bit lower than the Stromberg, it was called the Nonnenstromberg, which means the lower Stromberg. Source: rheindrache.de/nonnenstromberg
