Only a small path leads over the Nonnenstromberg. But he is then quite easy to find: the long-distance hiking trail Rheinsteig leads along it. We simply follow the Rhine entry sign.

Dear visitors, the meadow orchard belongs to the BNS (naturschutz-siebengebirge.de).

Harvesting (including picking apples) is considered theft and will be reported to the police!

Best regards from the board.

Beautiful path, especially beautiful in autumn when the forest wears its colorful dress.

The (not always reliably) marked "3" circular route in the Siebengebirge mountains seamlessly continued the high level of tours 1 and 2. I was particularly pleasantly surprised by the increased proportion of narrow paths. What I also didn't expect was the number of new places I was able to discover.

This beautiful circular hike in the Siebengebirge Mountains starts at Heisterbach Monastery. You hike to the volcano on Weilberg, the interesting rock formations on Stenzelberg, and through the pristine forest on Nonnenstromberg. It also goes to Petersberg and continues through a vineyard.
The climbs are quite steep for a short time, but overall, the circular hike is not too strenuous.

A highly recommended route. The Heisterbach monastery ruins are very popular but well worth seeing.

Showing Translation

A hike in native realms. This hike in the Heisterbach monastery landscape opens up the fields of activity of the former Heisterbach Abbey: quarry, fish farming, forestry, viticulture and mills. It leads in the Siebengebirge to the Stenzelberg, the Nonnenstromberg and the Petersberg, uphill and downhill again and again, through beautiful, shady forest, some meadow orchards and vineyards. Overall a …
