The Aachener Weiher is a beautiful place to relax in the middle of the city. Here you can take a break with a view of the water.

The fitness area was used very heavily, especially during the pandemic. However, things have since returned to normal.

Colonius Tower

"Now it has to be decided whether Cologne will be a huge stone desert or a city whose residents can lead a decent existence." For the new Lord Mayor of Cologne, Konrad Adenauer, it was already clear in 1919: In the immediate vicinity of the densely populated city center The green system has long been not only the “green lung” of the city, but also offers easily accessible excursion destinations. The Prussians laid the foundations for this at the beginning of the 19th century: the inner and outer fastening ring provided the basic shape.

Aachener Pond

Highlight • Lake

Around the Aachener Weiher and in the park there are many opportunities to go for a walk, to stroll and in summer to simply sit on the meadow and relax. In the nearby café of the Museum of East Asian Art you can get a good refreshment. We had a very tasty pumpkin soup and an even better chili con carne. The museum is certainly also worth a visit, but we didn't have time for that today. :-)
