The railway station - valley station
‘Here you enter historical terrain!’

No sign, but the ancient but restored steam locomotive from 1927 greets the guest in front of the entrance. Marvel, touch - this old iron is history you can touch.

Inside, the lavishly restored quarry stone wall dominates the centrepiece of the station, the track area. From here, all other ground floor parts of the valley station are visible through glass walls - from the waiting hall to the workshop. This view completes the idea of the ‘workshop with glass gates’ by architect Michael C. Deisenroth.

In addition, historical advertising posters form a nice contrast to the modern marketing of companies from the region. They commemorate Ferdinand Mülhens, the former owner and promoter of ‘Bergbahnen im Siebengebirge AG’, which has remained in family hands to this day.

Drachenfels - middle station

The steel lifeline connects the bottom station of the Drachenfels cable car with Niebelungenhalle, Drachenburg Castle, the castle courtyard and finally the Drachenfels plateau with restaurant and event location at the top station.

Drachenfels - mountain station

From the Drachenfels plateau you have access to the Drachenfels restaurant and the Drachenfels ruins, or you can simply enjoy the magnificent view.

Today, the plateau shines in new splendour and the viewing terrace with its seating offers an unobstructed and far-reaching view as far as Unkel and the Rolandsbogen on the opposite bank of the Rhine. And if the weather doesn't play ball, visitors can enjoy the view from the glass cube and take in the Rhine landscape.
