Rock Garden at Fort Deckstein

Highlight • Natural

The rock garden at Fort VI has something of an old fairytale forest. Due to the tall trees, it is always quite dark here, as if enchanted. You wouldn't be really surprised if trolls or fairies slipped out of the bushes here.

View of Haus am See Köln

Highlight • Restaurant

Located in the middle of the green city forest on the banks of the pond, the restaurant attracts day-trippers and families, especially on weekends. The beer garden is adjacent to the sun terrace of the house by the lake.

Chestnut-lined avenue at Decksteiner Weiher

Highlight • Natural

Some of the trees along the two avenues are now around 80 years old. An avenue of this size and age always creates a very specific atmosphere and gives the pond and its surroundings the character of a larger park.

Decksteiner Pond Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

A fantastic park in the green belt of the south of Cologne, just 6 kilometers as the crow flies from Cologne Cathedral.
The Decksteiner Weiher is a wonderful destination for contemplative walks under the shady trees of wide avenues with a nice place to stop for refreshments by the water.

Decksteiner Pond

Highlight • Lake

In good weather, a pedal boat ride at the house on the lake is worthwhile

Bench with a view of the Decksteiner Weiher

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Decksteiner Weiher is the largest, approximately two kilometer long, artificially created park pond in Cologne around 1930. It was also designed as a training course for rowing.
To this day, the facility has a high recreational value. The Decksteiner Weiher is both a popular destination for walkers who stroll under the shady trees on wide avenues and a sports venue for joggers and walkers. There are numerous opportunities to linger on the shore, as well as boat rentals and a mini golf course not far from the Haus am See. The Decksteiner Fort is also worth seeing as part of the once massive Cologne fortress complex.
