Heisterbach Abbey Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

The Heisterbach monastery ruins are a wonderful place to linger and take a short break under old trees and close to the ruins. Historically very interesting and well explained with numerous information boards.

Between the Dornheckensee car park and Oberkassel, the path always runs close to the edge of the breakoff and there are several lookout points from which you can get an overview of the Rhine Valley.

View of Dornheckensee

Highlight • Viewpoint

After the completion of the Oberkassel/Ramersdorfer basalt quarrying in the 19th century, some of the up to 70 sMeter deep quarrying sites filled with groundwater. Embedded in cliffs, the Dornheckensee today offers a beautiful panorama. Signs indicate that swimming is prohibited here. Rock crumbles off the steep walls of the Ennert and falls into the lake. A dangerous undercurrent can be very dangerous for inexperienced swimmers. Today, the area around the Dornheckensee belongs to the Siebengebirge fauna-flora-habitat area and is subject to strict supervision. A walk around the lakes is recommended, because you can enjoy a unique view above the cliffs enjoy over Bonn. However, care should be taken not to leave the forest paths.
