Skywalk Rabenlay

A great view of Bonn, the Rhine Valley, the Eifel and the Ahrberge. Go there if the weather is very clear. Best in the morning with the sun behind you.

Inaugurated in September 2017, the great viewing platform on the Rheinhöhenweg offers a wonderful view over Bonn, the Siebengebirge and the Drachenburg.
On many information boards the Rabenlay, the findings of the double burial and the prehistoric Rhineland 14,000 years ago are described and depicted. Well worth a look, if you get past it

The "Skywalk Rabenlay" is closer to the cuckoo than to the Rabenlay. Röckesberg (165 m), Rabenlay (180 m) and Kuckstein (190 m) are the three elevations on whose western flanks basalt was mined in earlier years. From this skywalk you look down into the quarry, where in 1914 the approximately 14,000-year-old double tomb of Oberkassel was discovered.

This vantage point is located on the Rabenlay (180 m). Between Röckesberg (165 m) and Kuckstein (190 m), the Rabenlay is one of the three mountains where basalt mining was still practiced until the middle of the 20th century.

By mistake, the "Skywalk Rabenlay" is not located directly at this vantage point but a little further south.

The Skywalk Rabenley is the highest point of a path that leads from the Dornheckensee car park parallel to the edge of the break up to Oberkassel and has around 5-6 beautiful vantage points, some of which are equipped with tables and benches.

Not necessarily for people with a fear of heights. Impressive depth and width

Beautiful view to the Drachenfels and far over Bonn

Very nice viewpoint right on the Rheinsteig

Great view. The display boards provide information about this interesting place

With lots of information about the history of the region. Also suitable for children.

Very nice view of Bonn and the Rhine Valley. View extends to the Eifel.

Very nice panorama of the Siebengebirge

A great vantage point. There are many information boards here.

Beautiful little viewpoint over Oberkassel.

Great all-round view; on the way even more views

Very nice view in the southwestern Rhine Valley. Along the way you will find more views (also in northwestern direction, say depending on the weather view to Cologne)

... with a south-westerly view over the Rhine Valley

The view is phenomenal - but only if the weather is nice

The view is fantastic.
