Hiking

The Rheinaue is worth seeing at any time of the year. Varied views of the Rhine and the city. Extensive green areas that invite you to have a picnic, but also sandy beaches and bays. It doesn't get boring with the shipping either - there's always something to see. And you can see sheep from time to time - hard at work tending to the landscape.

Hiking

It's nice that you can still experience a bit of nature here on the Rhine in a city with over a million inhabitants like Cologne.

Hiking

Perhaps hard to imagine, but there is also a touch of country life in the middle of the city. A bit away from the center, behind the Mülheim Bridge towards Niehler harbor, sheep and shepherds regularly take the area to keep the grass short. Just sit down, lay in the grass and relax.
