The Rote Maar is a little-known nature reserve in the Ville, near Bornheim-Rösberg, that is important for amphibians. Beech trees, wet grasses and rushes grow in the shallow water of the ponds. Especially when the blue sky is reflected in the water, there are wonderful views every few meters.

Nature lovers should keep quiet, stay on the paths and, above all, do not try to enter the area of the Rote Maar.

The P Rietmar is recommended as a hiking car park.
