The nature reserve has existed since 1983. A wide variety of biotopes were created here, which offer birds, amphibians and fish an optimal habitat. You can get information on the information boards on site. The nearby stop of KVB line 4 also makes a short flying visit to the nature reserve possible.

The nature reserve "Am Hornpottweg" (also known as Hornpott gravel pit) is located on the northeastern edge of Cologne, near the city limits between Cologne-Dünnwald and Leverkusen-Schlebusch.

Hiking

Here, scenic treasure chests were created, very close to major traffic arteries and yet hidden from car avalanches and crowds.
