윌리치‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 호수

Nice little park.

It is an almost closed forest area with an area of 35 hectares.

Beautifully created viewing point in the Niepkuhlen nature reserve.

Part of the path runs just a few meters from the A52 - there is no relaxation there.

Dogs must be kept on a leash at the Kaarster See. 🐕

The Kaiserpark is located in the so-called Hohenzollernviertel, which formerly belonged to Jentges' property in Krefeld-Bockum. This particularly beautiful district dates back to the initiative of Wilhelm Jentges between 1878 and 1884. Jentges was a city councilor, an unpaid deputy, a member of the provincial parliament and director of the Krefelder Sparkasse. He bought an area of approximately 280 hectares that he wanted to turn into a garden city. His heirs formed the Jentges'scher Grundgenossenschaft and created the conditions for the creation of a generously planned villa area between the city forest, Großhüttenpark, Vreed and Solbrüggenpark. The large properties allowed for stately private gardens, and the entire district was heavily greened and crisscrossed by avenue-like streets and spacious squares. City gardener Noell created the Kaiserpark as a connection to the city forest. The elongated complex was divided by a double pond and a bridge. The original plan went further, but was not fully implemented. The facility covers an area of around 5 hectares. It was intended to be given a special design by planting various conifers. In addition, many decorative beds were created. Since 1959, the ponds here have also been causing difficulties due to a lack of water. In 1964, the water level dropped so much that not only were they causing a plague of mosquitoes, but rats were also settling there. The connection to the groundwater has now been restored here.

You can see how strong nature is. You can still get through.

A swamp area with great alluvial forests meanders from Verberg to Traar. Typical plants and rare animals find their home here.
