View of Drachenfels, Drachenburg, and Petersberg from Heinrichsblick
Highlight • Viewpoint
This cozy viewpoint invites with two benches in every season to linger. The great panoramic view offers a view of the Siebengebirge, Königswinter, Mehlem, Bad Godesberg, Bonn and in clear weather Siegburg, the promontory with Wesseling, Bornheim, etc. to Cologne where you can even make out the cathedral and the TV tower.
On Sundays and public holidays there is something more going on, but normally you can rest here in peace and quiet.

Heinrichsblick — View of the Rhine and the Siebengebirge
Highlight • Viewpoint
A few centuries ago a young man is said to have innocently given his life at this point. According to legend, his name was Heinrich and he was supposed to marry Kunigunde, the beautiful daughter of the Mehlemer bailiff. When Kunigunde and Heinrich went through the Kottenforst to personally invite relatives to the wedding, Heinrich is said to have returned halfway because he still had something to do.
In the middle of the forest he heard a groan and found a woman covered in blood. He took her on his shoulders and took her to the village. When he found she was dead, he filed a complaint. The rejected suitors Kunigundes then blamed Heinrich for the deed, so the legend goes. They achieved that he had to die without a defense on the execution site on Rodderberg.
