Scheduled trip
Siebengebirgs tour
Relaxing boat trip to the Siebengebirge
One of the most popular excursion destinations from Cologne, Wesseling or Bonn is the Siebengebirge. We take you right into the heart of this unique idyllic landscape of castles and ruins around the seven mountains.
Take a leisurely cruise on board our boats past Bonn to the legendary Drachenfels in Königswinter. Take advantage of our inexpensive combined ticket, for example, and discover the newly designed Drachenfels plateau with its historic old building and modern glass cube by cogwheel train. However, it is also worth exploring the region further by boat. The picturesque spa town of Bad Honnef, for example, is not nicknamed the "Rhenish Nice" for nothing. Charming little Rhine towns such as Unkel and Linz are also well worth a visit.
