Atop the Drachenfels, which can be climbed on foot or by railway (children can also ride on a donkey), the old castle ruins of the Drachenfels and Drachenburg Castle are located. The Trachyt rock of the Drachenfels was first mined in the 13th and 14th centuries for building material - to build Cologne Cathedral for example. The old legends about the Drachenfels are also exciting - a dragon was once supposed to have lived here, who sank a Rhine ship with a breath of fire. It is not clear whether the mountain got its name from the first city count Gottfried von Drachenfels, who lived here from 1176, or from the Trachyt stone.
