If you drive from Oberkassel in the direction of Vinxel, you have a beautiful view of Vinxel and the surrounding area from the top before Vinxel.
At the crossroads there is a large parking lot for access to an extensive network of hiking trails. If you turn right you follow the road down to the Heisterbach monastery ruins

Silesia House

Highlight • Historical Site

Haus Schlesien is much more than just a restaurant and hotel – as mentioned above in the highlight title. In addition to the culinary aspect, what is particularly recommended for a visit is the museum of the cultural center, which, in addition to the permanent exhibition, also offers new temporary exhibitions with a focus on Silesian culture and history as well as expulsion, for example traditionally a nativity scene exhibition in the winter months of December and January.

View of Siebengebirge and Drachenfels

Highlight • Viewpoint

The mountain has something for itself, it is best to drive up here alone in the morning, then there are few cars and the view towards the rising sun is fantastic

View from Petersberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Petersberg, which rises steeply directly from the Rhine, is a historical place with a very special significance. After the Second World War, the highest representatives of the victorious powers met here for several years to discuss world politics. Even today, the luxury hotel is regularly used by the federal government for national and international conferences. The view over the Rhine towards Bonn is magnificent!

Rheinradweg Section at Seven Hills

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The new (unfortunately short) section of the Rhine cycle path is very well done. It is a comfortable width and is well lit. I also think the markings at the playground and the crossings are good.

Actually wanted to support my good friends at the Bonn New Year's Eve Run. But since the weather was getting better and better, I went up to Margarethe Höhe again. Down in Königswinter I looked at the Petersberg and thought it was actually right on your way. So I allowed myself a view from up there down to the Drachenfels, …
