Dünnwald Wildlife Park

Highlight • Structure

When Cologne city center - and with it the grounds of the zoological garden - was in ruins during the Second World War, the "Wildlife Park Dünnwald" was the refuge for the animals that were still alive.

Höhenfelder Lake

Highlight • Lake

You may not think so, but even in a vibrant city like Cologne you can immerse yourself in nature just like in the country. The Höhenfelder See is such a natural oasis and makes you think of Scandinavia (especially in autumn). In the middle of the landscape conservation area, a stable shore path leads around the lake, past wooden boats and reeds. However, swimming is dangerous here and is therefore prohibited.

View of Höhenfelder Lake

Highlight • Lake

A great lake, but totally overcrowded on free sunny days. Prefers to come here on a nice day outside of the holidays on weekdays.

A friendly match between the Hamburg Rugby Club and the Cologne Rugby Club drew me to Cologne today. And before the afternoon game, I'd like to pay a quick visit to the Dellbrück Heath, which is now in bloom again.
