Episode Synopsis


If we head to the Siebengeberge uplands in Germany, we'll find a hill named the Drachenfels near Königswinter. It stands at 321 m and the name translates as Dragon's Rock, named after a dragon that allegedly lived on its slopes.

Given we're in the Folklore of Mountains and Hills Month, let's investigate two legends associated with the dragon of the Drachenfels in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
