Riehl Rhine Meadows

Highlight • River

The banks of the Rhine are always worth a visit. However, it's often crowded when the weather's nice. I like the areas south of the motorway bridge near Weiß/Sürth and on the opposite bank in Zündorf the most.

Königsforst Forest Trail

Highlight • Forest

The Königsforst is directly connected to the Wahner Heide. For Cologne a quickly accessible jewel for relaxation. Whether on foot or by bike, many small and large paths and lots of forest. Always beautiful, no matter what time of year.

Monte Troodelöh (Cologne's highest point)

Highlight • Summit

Climb the summit and don't have a head for heights? No problem. You won't find a summit cross here, but you will find a summit marker. At 118.04 meters, Monte Troodelöh is the highest elevation in the city of Cologne.
