Der Drachenfels ist ein 320 Meter hoher Berggipfel im Siebengebirge. Auf dem Gipfel befindet sich eine sagenumwogene Burgruine, die Ziel zahlreicher Touristen ist: Laut der Nibelungensage soll hier der Held Siegfried mit einem Drachen gekämpft und diesen besiegt haben.

Aber nicht nur die Geschichte des Bergs zieht viele Besucher an, auch die Aussicht von hier ist sehenswert. Man kann den Verlauf des Rheins, der 245 Meter unterhalb des Drachenfels entlangfließt, in beide Richtungen verfolgen, Richtung Osten hat man einen weiten Blick ins Siebengebirge hinein. Bei der Umgestaltung des Aussichtspunktes unterhalb des Gipfels von 2011 bis 2013 wurden drei Orientierungstafeln angebracht.

Des weiteren wurden zwei münzbetriebene Ferngläser und zwei Fernrohre aufgestellt. Man kann mit 50 Cent und 1 Euro Münzen bezahlen.
