    Hiking

    The last remaining runway of Cologne's former Butzweilerhof Airport. The original 11-meter-long concrete slabs are still here. The area has been unused for many years, and parking has been banned and blocked off. It's 1 kilometer to the terminal building. Everything in between has been built over.

    Without such a relic, I wouldn't even suspect that Cologne was THE pioneering center of German aviation.
