Heisterbach Abbey Choir Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

Next to the monastery ruins you can also stop off and recharge your batteries after the hike.
The adjacent car park is a good starting point for hikes, e.g. to the Petersberg.

Beautiful, paved path through the forest from the Stenzelberg hiking car park to the Waidmannsruh retreat, or vice versa. Depending on the weather, time and day of the week, however, you have to watch out for hikers and walkers.

Ascent to Drachenfels from Königswinter

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A beautiful route, slightly easier than Petersberg. Towards the end of the climb, there are many walkers. It's advisable not to go up during rush hour.

The aim was to climb as many meters of altitude as possible in the shortest possible distance. If anyone knows a route with a better ratio, bring it on.
It wasn't worth taking photos, as each motif had already been snapped several times along the way.

April 1, 2024,Shorty mit doppeltem Gipfelglück

After the rain finally cleared on Easter Monday, there was even some sunshine. And thanks to summer time, there was still some time to take a quick ride on the now dried roads. In order not to make it too easy, I chose the two prominent peaks of the Siebengebirge on the Rhine. After the journey to Königswinter, I first …
