ケルペン周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

First mentioned in 1230 as the bailiwick of Paffendorf, this Renaissance-style moated castle is completely surrounded by water. Today, a brasserie invites visitors to enjoy coffee, cakes, and light meals. These can be savored either in the stylish interior or in the castle courtyard overlooking the park. The courtyard also serves as a venue for concerts and Christmas markets. The 7.5-hectare castle park delights visitors with its expansive water features, ancient sequoias and ginkgo trees, a stone pavilion, and numerous seating areas that invite relaxation.

The bridge serves as a shortcut if we don't have time to walk all the way around the pond. It offers beautiful views of the water on both sides.

Featuring the first Rocaille in Germany, Augustusburg Palace marks the cradle of Rococo in Germany. Elector and Archbishop Clemens August had his summer palace built between 1725 and 1768 on the ruins of a medieval moated castle – initially by the Westphalian master builder Johann Conrad Schlaun. Starting in 1728, the Walloon architect François de Cuvilliés the Elder designed Augustusburg Palace in its current form. However, Clemens August never saw his favorite residence completed, as it wasn't completed until seven years after his death.

AUGUSTUSBURG Castle and the neighboring Falkenlust hunting lodge - as well as the gardens connecting the two buildings (which have been brutally cut through since the construction of a bypass road) - quite rightly bear the title of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The castle park is free to enter (for example, it can be reached in a few minutes on foot from Brühl train station), but cycling is not permitted. The castle itself can be visited as part of guided tours or at concerts.

Wonderful for cycling, relaxing and running. The avenues provide pleasant cooling on hot summer days.

The Forum :terra nova is located directly at the Hambach opencast mine and offers a breathtaking view of the largest lignite mine in Europe. The facade represents the colors and structure of the layers of earth from the opencast mine. In addition to gastronomy, the forum also functions as an event location and offers, for example, concerts (“Music with a View”), exhibitions and readings. Thanks to the spacious outdoor terrace, playground and e-bike charging stations, it is ideal for a long break.

A piece of canal connects the lower Decksteiner pond in the outer green belt to the upper pond. If you only want to go around part of the area, you can use a bridge at the junction.
