Tips from the Community
At Stachelberg, between Hennef and Eitdorf, the Sieg River meanders in sweeping loops through lush floodplains. A well-maintained path leads directly along the Sieg, sometimes close to the bank, sometimes high on the steep bank clinging to the rocks. Everywhere you have wonderful views of the tranquil landscape, allowing you to breathe deeply and let your mind wander.

The church bears the patronage of Saint Agnes. Her feast day is significant in the Vatican because on this feast day, the newly appointed cardinals are awarded the pallium. This liturgical garment is made in Rome in a convent whose sisters also hold the patronage of Saint Agnes.
