The wall was massively reinforced with concrete to secure the castle - it doesn't look really nice. Climbing on the Drachenfels hasn't been allowed for a long time anyway, but it wouldn't really be fun here either.

Trachyte from Drachenfels
Even the Romans broke stones here, let them slide down the mountain and brought them onto ships in their small loading station at the southern end of what is now Königswinter. Local researchers and experts argue whether it was not a small Roman port after all. Whatever the case may have been - in Bonn and Cologne, even in Xanten and Nijmegen, trachyte from the Drachenfels was used for building.

It may not be beautiful - the concrete reinforcement... -
⚒️too much was removed in the past...this led to instability.
Still interesting to see.
The massif itself makes a beautiful photo subject 📸.
