If you consider that this multi-jet fountain was built between 1862 and 1864 and still amazes us so much that everyone has to take a photo of it, then they did everything right back then.
Just find a spot and enjoy.

The "French Parterre" is the best cold room in Cologne in summer. The fountain shoots over 20 m high, so that clouds of water are always blowing over the edge of the pool. They provide cooling like the famous nebulizers in Paris. The only other place that is as refreshing is the Rheinpark with 14 bowl fountains, easily accessible by cable car.

In winter, some people miss the palm tree in the large flower bed. Don't worry, it is in the winter garden and can be put back outside in spring.

This place is something very special, especially in the early morning hours. The sounds of nature and the gentle splashing of the fountain give you a holiday feeling 😉 .
