Drachenfels, August 2020

I’ve been in the Bonn region for a long time, but I had not been to Drachenfels up until this point. When the COVID-19 rules were relaxed a bit after the first lockdown, some friends and I decided to finally go there (as they hadn’t visited either). The place is definitely worth a visit (lives up to the hype); the hike there is also very nice (we walked both up and down so we can see as much of the surroundings as possible).

Here are some photos taken on the road to Drachenfels and of the castle itself.
