Everything began at Nettersheim near the „Grünen Pütz” – at least that's true for the Roman Canal and the hiking trail of the same name. With a total of 15 cheerful hiking friends, we set off in search of clues and hiked partly along the historical waterway from Nettersheim to Kall.

To conclude, there's plenty of water

Shortly after starting in Ochtendung, we had a special experience. A flock of birds first circled above us in the sky and then decided to land in a meadow within sight. On closer inspection, we could then see that it was a group of white storks. Obviously looking for earthworms, insects, or mice to strengthen

Today, the big clubs in Cologne are making headlines. However, it all began much earlier – in 1899, when a few young men in Weidenpesch decided that football should be more than just a pastime. They founded the International Football Club Cöln, the first of its kind in the cathedral city. The balls were

The Angerbach is a 36km long tributary of the Rhine. It originates near Wülfrath and flows through the Angerland to Duisburg, where the stream flows into the Rhine. The small stream is not so insignificant, on the one hand, not only the Duisburg district of Angerhausen, where the small river flows into

Viktoria Köln is at home there, a traditional football club from Höhenberg, currently in the 3rd division, with roots dating back to 1904 and a turbulent history of mergers, bankruptcies

Cologne has a very large number of football clubs – well over 100 if you count all registered amateur, youth, recreational, and traditional clubs. The city is one of the strongest football regions in Germany. Thus, in the shadow of the great EFFZEH, there are many clubs, stories, and "little anecdotes

A legend tells that the devil wanted to build a staircase to heaven. But as he flew with his load from Kirburg towards Bad Marienberg, the WITT (a rope made of willow branches) tore, and the falling basalt stones formed a mighty heap of stones. And there they lie still today, in the middle of the forest
