The densely wooded Siebengebirge is dominated by the legendary Drachenfels mountain, even though the Drachenfels does not form the top of the total of 40 hills with its height of just 321 metres. However, its romantic ruin of a fortress and the Castle Drachenburg, which is a jewel of the High Romanticism definitely worth seeing, always attract lots of tourists.
The Petersberg mountain, which is quite close to the Drachenfels mountain, is crowned by the imposing guest house of the Federal government, which does not only serve for the accommodation for state guests, but also as a first-class hotel for demanding travellers.
Right at the Rhine in the little village of Rhöndorf belonging to Bad Honnef, there is another relict from the history of the Federal Republic of Germany: The atmospheric Adenauer House with its well-cared for garden displays the first federal chancellor's affection for his roses, whereas the exhibition building demonstrates the interesting facts of life and work of the famous statesman.
