The Drachenfels in Königswinter is probably the most famous summit of the Siebengebirge and therefore quite busy on weekends with nice weather. The Zahlradbahn karrt every half hour for 10 euros (2016) many people from Königswinter up the steep mountainside, who want to enjoy the great view from above. The mountain and its castle are legendary. On top of the plateau you will find everything for a rest.

On the back of the Drachenfels, leaving Petersberg on the left, the ascent is easy to do with an average of approx. 6%. The view is always worth it.
