Drachenfels Castle is definitely worth a climb. A great experience, and not just because of the beautiful view. Exploring the structure of this castle is a real adventure, as it differs significantly from the usual castles.

Drachenfelshütte (PWV Busenberg)

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Palatinate hut romance is lived here, everything to eat and drink, what the Palatine heart desires. The hut, also called Drachenfelshütte, is directly accessible by bike, Harley and car and is not far from the very interesting rock castle Drachenfels.

The first part is quite steep, but then there are no major climbs. A beer garden awaits you at the top of the Drachenfels. Please note the opening times
