 Biggest forest in central Cologne |
Dürener Straße (Lindenthal) Cologne, NRW 50931 Germany |
The Stadtwald stretches over more than 200 hectares, and is a pride to its name. Visitors entering the eastern part can recover from the stresses of every-day life among a plantation of trees which are over a hundred years old. A variety of leisure activities is possible: the wildlife enclosures are open to the public and rowing-boats can be hired for use on the pond. A large play-area offers fun for younger visitors. In the western and more recent part of the park there is the six-hectare Adenauer pond with a jogging-track. Several restaurants and beergardens offer a choice of refreshments.

A wide open space |
Kreuznacher Straße/Kierberger Straße Raderberg Cologne, NRW 50968 Germany |
The Vorgebirgspark is seldom empty in summer. Walking on the grass is allowed and the inhabitants of Cologne take full advantage of the opportunity. Whether you want to jog, to cycle or just to relax, everything is possible. Children are catered for by the play-area in the south of the park, and in the north there is a popular paddling-pool. The park, which was laid out at the beginning of the 19th century, also has a rose garden, a herb-garden and stands of trees. Review © 2007, Wcities |
