A few bridges were no longer intact and very shaky. But a nice change from normal paths.

Our hike through the beautiful Siebengebirge was worth it for this fantastic view alone. Just enjoy!

The Stenzelberg is geologically a spring dome from the volcanic rock Latit. The rising magma did not reach the earth's surface here, but got stuck in the surrounding tuff cover rock. The softer tuff was later eroded away, exposing the harder latite. The Stenzelberg has been used as a quarry since the 11th century, in which quartz latite rock was mined. The Heisterbach Abbey also operated a quarry on the Stenzelberg. The quarried material was also used to build the monastery buildings and the abbey church. Furthermore, rock from the Stenzelberg was used for the Propsteikirche in Oberpleis, the Nikolauskapelle in Heisterbacherrott and the Bonn Minster, and later also for the churches in Niederdollendorf, in Oberdollendorf and in Asbach. The operation of the quarry ended in 1931. Source: https://www.kuladig.de/Objectansicht/O-FJK-20100630-0032

Along the small Tretschbach you first go downhill over three wooden bridges. At the top you have the familiar beech forest, Haimsen, woodruff and many other plants and animals. Further down it gets wetter due to the many seepage springs, here you walk on the boardwalk. Here you will find alluvial forest with alders, ash trees, ferns and many other plants and animals in the air, on the ground and in the Tretschbach. A beautiful valley in the Siebengebirge!

The Stenzlberg offers rugged rocks, exciting views, history and beautiful narrow paths.

A bizarre rocky landscape in the Siebengebirge.

Has its appeal even in fog.

The Lohrberg, the third largest mountain in the Siebengebirge, offers a wonderful view of the Rhine from the Dreiseenblick, which, visible in three places (hence the name Dreiseenblick), winds through the valley below. There is a refuge at the lookout point, where you can take a break. An information board provides information about what can be seen in the distance from here. The gaze wanders from the islands of Nonnenwerth and Grafenwerth in the Rhine over the mountainous Eifel northwards over the Drachenfels towards Bonn-Bad Godesberg.
