Koenigswinter: Drachenfels, Rhine Panorama, and the Siebengebirge Town Across From Bonn
Koenigswinter has a population around 41,200 and lies on the right bank of the Rhine in Nordrhein-Westfalen, directly opposite Bonn. The Drachenfels, a 321-metre hill with castle ruins, is the most climbed mountain in Europe according to local tradition. The Zahnradbahn (rack railway) from the town centre to the summit has operated since 1883. The Siebengebirge (Seven Mountains), a volcanic hill range and one of Germany's oldest nature reserves, dominates the landscape.
The Schloss Drachenburg, a neo-Gothic fantasy castle built in 1882 by a stockbroker, sits partway up the Drachenfels and is open to visitors. The Nibelungenhalle, a gallery dedicated to Wagner's Ring cycle, was built in 1913. Koenigswinter's Altstadt along the Rhine has a promenade lined with restaurants. The Petersberg, once the Bundesgaesthaus (federal guesthouse) for state visits, hosted diplomatic summits. The town includes the wine-growing village of Oberdollendorf in the hills. Bonn's centre is reachable in about 15 minutes by Stadtbahn. Adult companionship follows NRW's regulatory framework.
