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.

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.

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.

The Adenauer pond is always worth a visit. It doesn't matter whether you want to hike, ride a bike or go jogging. The view over the lake is simply fantastic.

Decksteiner Pond

Highlight • Lake

A section of canal connects the lower Decksteiner Weiher, located in the outer greenbelt, to the upper pond. Those wishing to circumnavigate only a portion of the pond can use a bridge at the canal's junction.

Chestnut Avenue in the Cologne City Forest

Highlight • Forest

The "city forest" (see Gerda's contribution) here means a section of the "outer green belt" that stretches west of the Cologne-Klettenberg district between the A4 motorway and the military ring road. Above all, the "Decksteiner Weiher" is well-known.
