Himmerich

Himmerich is a mountain summit in Bad Honnef reaching about 367 meters, forming part of the Rheinwesterwälder volcanic ridge. Forests cover the slopes, and rocky outcrops appear throughout the terrain, shaping how the land looks.

The mountain formed millions of years ago through volcanic activity that shaped the landscape. It now belongs to Naturpark Siebengebirge, the first nature park established in North Rhine-Westphalia, reflecting its importance to the region.

The summit attracts hikers from nearby areas who regularly use the trails for weekend outings. It serves as a connecting point between different walking routes, making it part of a larger network that people explore together.

Several marked trails lead to the summit from different directions, with the southeastern route offering a gentler climb. Hikers of all skill levels can find suitable paths, and the routes are clearly signed throughout.

From this summit, you can see far across the Rhine valley and spot many other mountain peaks and distant landmarks. This view is especially striking from certain observation points on the ridge.
