October 11, 2024,Bad Honnef 👣 Königswinter von Rhöndorf auf den 🐉 Drachenfels ⛰️

Today we went to the 🐉 Drachenfels again ⛰️, but it's best not to do that on a nice weekend! From Adenauer's home town of Rhöndorf, we hiked from the south side along the Rheinsteig up to the ruins on the much-visited Drachenfels. The way back took us along the Eselsweg to Königswinter and along the Rhine back to Rhöndorf …

Rhöndorf is a small, idyllic place. I am over the Rheinsteig to the Drachenfels. From the Drachenfels castle ruins you have a wonderful …

June 8, 2022,Bonn Mehlem - Königswinter - Drachenfels - Königswinter

The 9 €uro ticket gave me the idea of taking public transport to Bonn-Mehlem and then climbing the Drachenfels.
Departure at 10:39 a.m. with the RE7 to Cologne and then on to Bonn-Mehlem and with the ferry across the Rhine, that was the plan.
