    An open field, romantic garden, and a small pond surrounded by sand...lovely park! Beautiful landscaping, many flowering trees. Many places to sit in the sun or the shade

    My favorite park in Köln. It's beautiful all year long. In the summer it's full of people grilling and having fun, in the winter it's full of people running and exercising. Always very relaxing and exciting. It's worth a visit.
