ヴォリンガー・ブルフでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Located directly on the main road and impossible to miss. A small cycle/footpath runs behind the tower.

Exciting path across the nature reserve

The path is very overgrown and uneven. It gets very narrow when pedestrians are coming towards you. It's best to ride around the outside on a racing bike.

Nice single track, especially in dry weather

Brightens up the otherwise dull S-Bahn station a bit.

"The Worringer Bruch is located south of the Cologne district of Worringen and borders the district of Roggendorf to the east. At 37.5 meters above sea level, it is the geographically lowest point in Cologne. The Worringer Bruch was formed from a meander of the Rhine, which is about 2.5 to 3 kilometers away. The old arm was cut off from the main stream about 8,000 years ago and has now almost completely silted up..." CONTINUATION and MORE INFORMATION: https://www.stadt-koeln.de/artikel/71090/index.html

"...The Worringer Bruch is not only a habitat and feeding and breeding habitat for the above-mentioned animal species, it is also an important location for rare plant species and habitat types..." https://www.stadt-koeln.de/artikel/71090/index.html

Just a few meters from the Cologne Worringen S-Bahn station stands the first photo opportunity: The Cologne Trail guidebook provides the explanation for this unusual brick building: the "Intze Tower" was planned at the beginning of the last century as the base for a water tower for a waterworks, which was never completed. Today it is a listed residential building. From here it's not far to what is perhaps the most beautiful nature reserve within Cologne's city limits, the Worringer Bruch. 👍
