Parking lot at the Bad Honnef-Selhof youth hostel (counter-clockwise hike recommended)
Safety Guidelines
After the narrow path, which is flat, we turn left and walk uphill towards the Leyberg. There are short, steep sections along the way. In total, we climb 246 meters from the youth hostel to the top of the Leyberg. We go downhill again to the Mäcki hut to 225 m, before climbing again to 366 m to the Himmerich. After the Himmerich plateau, we only hike downhill; from the junction to the old brake cable route below the Himmerich, the short section is also very steep.
Tip
Basalt cone on the Leyberg with a Siebengebirge view worth seeing, probably one of the most beautiful views in the Siebengebirge; Himmerich view
