Amazing park to walk and enjoy the nature 😊 There are peacocks roaming around the park, one of the bestest park in cologne

Julie Schubert 6 months ago

Currently not an awful lot of space in the parking lot (03+04/26) but great park to air the kids or enjoy a walk, with the peacocks serving as a great motivation. The greenery makes for a splendid display through the seasons (currently last magnolia, cherries, tulips, some evergreen and the fresh green of early leaves). The many paths to choose from mean it's hardly ever crowded. Plenty of benches to sit and enjoy or listen for the occasional squirrel and birds. The area around the water fountains behind the heather area in the middle of where the paths meet always has a visitor or two.

A very nice place to regain your energy and reconnect with the nature for a real quick recovery. Peacocks roaming around free, there are multiple benches on almost every corner so you can sit there’s a small ice cream van, and a toilet which was really clean when I visited. There are signs and maps showing you your location. You gotta just be a bit smart! 😉

Place is beautiful, lots of different trees, everything is clean. The park have some good places to sit and relax, walking trought litte roads and forrest watching flowers by side give some good mood. The peacocks are truly amazing.
