ヴァッハトベルクの洞窟・トップ20

A little below the Plateau you will pass this vantage point of Drachenburg Castle on the way. The view of the (almost kitschy) castle with the Rhine and the Bonn skyline in the background is great. Photos from the small platform almost automatically have postcard quality.

From the vantage point at the Heinrich von Dechen monument you have a beautiful view of the Drachenburg and the Drachenfelsbahn. The benches invite you to take a break here.

Drachenburg Castle is a castle on the Drachenfels in Koenigswinter. It was built in record time from 1882 to 1884 in the style of historicism (especially neo-early gothic on the exterior and neo-renaissance in the interior) as a representative residence for Stephan von Sarter, who, however, never lived in the castle. After his death, the castle was subjected to several changes in use.

Very nice view of the Drachenburg Castle. Benches invite you to linger

Very nice view from above

As early as 1882, Baron Stephan von Sarter laid the foundation stone for a representative residence: Drachenburg Castle, a mixture of villa, castle and palace. The Düsseldorf architect duo Leo von Abbema and Bernhard Tüshaus produced the first plans, which were revised by the Paris-based architect Wilhelm Hoffmann, a student of the Cologne cathedral builder Ernst Friedrich Zwirner.

"...Anyone who would like to visit a fairytale castle in NRW should go to Königswinter in the Siebengebirge. Here the Drachenburg Castle is enthroned high up on the Drachenfels...." You can find more information about this at: https://www.netreisetagebuch.de/schloss-drachenburg

From the Dechendenkmal you have a good view of the Drachenburg, which was built in the 19th century.
