Cheap flights to Seven Mountains

On the banks of the Rhine, not far from Bonn, lies the Seven Mountains (Siebengebirge) — a fairytale-like hill landscape that has captivated travellers for centuries. With flights to the Seven Mountains, you'll discover one of the most beautiful stretches of nature along the Rhine, where legends and history come together.

The Seven Mountains Region

The Siebengebirge owes its name to the seven main hilltops, although the area actually consists of more than 40 volcanic peaks. This compact mountain range on the right bank of the Rhine has been a source of inspiration for artists and dreamers for centuries. The Drachenfels (Dragon's Rock) is the most famous peak, with ruins of a medieval castle and breathtaking views over the Rhine.

The Seven Mountains is also known from the Nibelungenlied — the famous Germanic epic in which the dragon Fafnir was slain on the Drachenfels by the hero Siegfried. Richard Wagner used this legend as inspiration for his Ring cycle.

Königswinter, the charming town at the foot of the Drachenfels, is an ideal base. From here, you can reach the top of the Drachenfels by rack railway or take a boat trip on the Rhine towards the famous Loreley rock area upstream.

Nearby Bonn, the birthplace of Beethoven, is a cultural gem with the Beethoven-Haus museum and the vibrant city centre. And don't forget the Rheinsteig — a beautiful hiking trail that takes you along the most scenic viewpoints of the Seven Mountains. Book your flights to the Seven Mountains at CheapTickets.nl!
