Please note that the number of attractions depends on the selected option.

Drachenfelsbahn is a historic railway. In case of the railway being out of service, the driver will get you as close to Drachenburg Castle as possible, but since there is no parking on the site you will have to hike for 10-14 mins to reach the top of the hill.

Don't let extreme weather spoil your experience, check the forecast and dress appropriately for the conditions, rain or shine. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes.

We will arrange private transfers in a standard car (sedan) for groups of 1-4 people, and in a larger van for groups of 5 people and more. You can book a 5-people tour for a larger vehicle.
