Geisberg, Mountain summit in Siebengebirge, Germany

Geisberg is a 324-metre hill in the Siebengebirge near Königswinter, lying between the Wolkenburg and the Lohrberg. The Rheinsteig long-distance trail crosses its summit and links it with the lower neighbouring Schallenberg (310 m), on a section laid out in 1931. At the viewpoint stands the wooden Walter-Guilleaume-Hütte, built in 1952.

The Geisberg lies between the Wolkenburg and the Lohrberg, and the Rheinsteig long-distance trail crosses its summit. The section of that trail leading to the neighbouring Schallenberg (310 m) was laid out in 1931. The summit itself reaches 324 m, about 58 m above the surrounding terrain.

The name Geisberg is commonly linked to the German word Geiß, a goat, though the sources document no goats on these slopes. What visitors can actually see is the Walter-Guilleaume-Hütte, a wooden shelter built on the summit viewpoint in 1952 and named after a person, where walkers rest before the view opens west toward the Rhine.

The mountain is easily reached from Bad Honnef through well-marked trails, including the popular Rheinsteig hiking route that passes through the area. The walk to the summit takes roughly one to two hours depending on your chosen path and fitness level.

From the summit you can see neighboring peaks like Drachenfels and Wolkenburg, giving visitors a special geographical perspective of the range. On clear days the view extends across the Rhine Valley, offering rare sightlines over the entire region from a single vantage point.
