    Hiking

    The dragon cave under the south rock is about 20 meters wide and 15 meters deep and a bit difficult to find and reach. It was made accessible by the Drachenfels Club in 1873; the lindworm that Siegfried killed in the Nibelungen saga is said to have once lived here. One can well imagine that for centuries children believed in the presence of dragons.

    Narrow access to the cave, a small railing ensures safety.

    You should still be sure-footed, pay particular attention to your children, a fall would be fatal.

    But your courage will be rewarded
