If you spend most of your time in the center of Cologne, you will hardly notice that Cologne has 15 percent forest area. You can easily reach the thin forest in the east of the city via the wildlife park of the same name, past well-known forest animals to the forest pool. Further south you reach the idyllic Höhenfelder See over a hill.

Today, the lake was partially covered in ice, which gave the whole a wild-romantic Flaire.
