Servus!
On Fridays we have no school, so we wanted to do something else than just stay home for the whole day. That is why we decided to go to Drachenfels! Actually our school arranged a trip there couple of weeks ago, but we missed it...We were in Amsterdam the day before (actually we arrived home at 6 am), so we were too tired to go there:( Drachenfels is a mountain in Bonn, which is a city near Köln.
We asked the other girls to come with us, because we weren't the only ones too tired when the school's trip was arranged :D Irina wanted also to see the Drachenfels so she came with us :) We took a train from the Köln Hbf at 12.38. The journey took about 40 minutes. We arrived to a small town called Königswinter and we had no idea where to go..:D Luckily the Drachenfels was really near to the train station, only 5 minutes walk, so we didn't get lost :)

We saw the walking route to the top and decided to take the train instead :D The trip back and forth was 10 €. We were really excited about the train and it was fun! In the halfway point on the way to the top there is the Drachenfels castle (Schloss Drachenburg), but we decided to go up first.

The journey up took like 10 minutes. When we got there we were so amazed about the view. It was so beautiful! Words cannot describe and pictures are not enough, it was amazing!!

| In the horizon is Köln and we could even see the Dom! |
 |
| There was also a restaurant |
After spending a while enjoying the view we took the train and went to see the castle. The ticket inside the castle was 4 € for students, not that bad. The castle was also really beautiful! A baron had built it for himself between 1882-1884. The castle has been restored to its original conditions in 2011.

After visiting the castle we were kinda tired and wanted to head home. We took the train back down and walked to the Königswinter train station.
 |
| We made it to the first row, next to the driver! |
 |
| There was a small sheep right next to the track and it just laid there even though the train passed it.. |

We spend the evening just hanging at our place and relaxing.
Next post is about our eventful Saturday!
Bis bald!
