Motorway tunnel in the Cologne Green Belt

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

Top alternative to bypass the traffic and the traffic lights at the distributor. So you can largely without stopping and traffic on the green belt side beyond the highway.

From here it goes in one direction more to peace and nature, with many restaurants and in the other direction to the Rheinauhafen, the chocolate museum, the old town and of course the cathedral.

View of the Kranhäuser and Cologne Cathedral

Highlight • Viewpoint

A view of the other side of the Rhine is always a highlight when the weather is good. It doesn't really matter which side you look from, there is always something interesting to see.

Deutz Swing Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Just as the new port on the Deutz side followed the Rheinauhafen ten years later (laid out between 1904 and 1907), a hydraulically operated swing bridge was also built here in order to be able to cross the port basin. The "star" among the bridge builders, the Duisburg steel construction company Harkort, carried them out completely in the then current Art Nouveau style - from the wheelhouse that towers over the middle of the bridge to the railings and the bridgeheads. The Deutz construction has a purely electric drive with which it - still today - is lifted from its rest position and then rotated.

Rheinboulevard – View of Cologne Cathedral and Old Town

Highlight • Viewpoint

A new (expensive) piece from Cologne. Unfortunately, the building materials used for the purpose are not quite suitable and so the boulevard must always be cleaned with a lot of effort. At major events such. B. Cologne lights it is blocked. Not so well planned, typical Cologne, but it is beautiful and from there you have a great view of the old town.

The Zoobrücke in Cologne is a bridge over the Rhine. It connects as part of the B 55a the inner canal road - a ring road through the inner green belt and former Prussian fortress ring Cologne - with the rechtsrheinischen highway network.
