    Hiking

    The remaining historic city gates, here the "Hahnentorburg", which are now located in the middle of the city, are impressive witnesses to the extensive city wall that once protected Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium.
    After their demolition, it is mainly thanks to the then mayor Konrad Adenauer that the vacated areas were not redeveloped, but instead the "green belt" that is still highly valued today was able to emerge.

    The Hahnentorburg is one of twelve originally castle gates in the eight-kilometer-long medieval city wall of Cologne (1180–1220) and ensured western access to the city on the road to Aachen and Jülich. It is located on today's Rudolfplatz.

    The Christmas market on Rudolfplatz in Cologne not only has stalls, but also shows this nativity scene with large-format figures.
