コッテンの森の天然記念物・トップ12

The Rehsprungmaar in the Kottenforst - In order to preserve it as a spawning water for protected amphibian species such as the agile frog or the great crested newt, human intervention is necessary.

You need a lot of imagination to be able to imagine the facility today with all the vegetation. At best you can see the remains of the ramparts - otherwise there are only trees🌲. So don't expect too much! Unfortunately I didn't understand the information board 🤨 something could be done to make it more understandable and clear. The location of the defense facility was very well chosen. This quickly becomes clear when you want to deviate from the paths 🫢.

Amazing ancient man-made pond!

The ring wall, a testament to early settlement, is explained quite well and is worthwhile for hikers and cyclists.

On a hike in the Kottenforst forest around the town of Röttgen (a municipal district of the federal city of Bonn), you can do a lake triathlon: * Kurfürstenweiher (see https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/274019 ), * this Hirschweiher, and * Rehsprungmaar (see https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/370559 ) can be combined into a beautiful forest walk.

The Katzenlochbach stream flows through the forest in a pretty wild way. It is exciting to explore it.
