Stone pyramids on the Nonnenstromberg summit

Highlight • Summit

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.

Overall a …

Today we went with my son-in-law to the neighboring Siebengebirge in Spe to catch up on a hike from last year. The weather there was a bit suboptimal, but dry.
After a few kilometers you reach the Heisterbach monastery ruins (with a monastery cafe), which are worth taking a short walk around the area.
