The Seven Mountains are located to the east of Bonn, and on the right side of the Rhine. The name comes from Siefengebirge, which means mountains with small valleys. From over forty hills, these seven are easy to recognise. All the hills are remains of the Siebengebirge volcano, which formed the shape of this area about 18-25 million years ago. The highest mountain in this range is the Große Ölberg, with the TV mast at its summit; but the best known mountain is the Petersberg on whose summit the former guest house of the Government was located. Just as well known is the Drachenfels, which is the most popular mountain to climb in Germany. In addition, the Wolkenburg, Löwenburg, Lohrberg, Nonnenstromberg, Perlenhardt, and the Stenzelberg also belong to the Siebengebirge mountain range
