Leyberg

Leyberg is a hill in Bad Honnef that rises to about 359 meters, accessible through dense forest with natural rock steps along the way. The terrain varies as you climb, eventually reaching the summit with views across the Rhine Valley.

The hill forms part of a geological formation with volcanic origins from ancient times. This mountain range reflects the past volcanic activity that shaped the landscape of the region.

Local hikers regularly use the marked trails around the summit to connect with neighboring peaks and the larger Rheinsteig network. The routes form part of a well-established walking culture in the Rhine Valley region.

The climb is steep and requires proper footwear, making sturdy hiking boots essential for safety. Several benches along the way offer rest stops with views over the valley.

The summit displays basalt formations that preserve traces of ancient volcanic activity and create climbing challenges even today. These rock formations make the ascent both physically demanding and geologically interesting.
