Am Hornpottweg is also considered a resting area for migratory birds. If you are lucky, you might also spot some common toads or Eurasian tree frogs.

Stuntwerk
Bouldering in Mülheim
What I really enjoy about Stuntwerk is that there is a lot of space, new routes weekly, and there are eight levels of difficulty, from easy to difficult.

KölnTriangle
Top of the block!
"KölnTriangle" provides what in my opinion is the best view of Cologne, at least in my opinion. You can see the Dome and so much more!

Dellbrücker Heide
A small nature reserve
To maintain this habitat open and thus preserve the associated species - there is a shepherd with goats and sheep. There are also free tours you can join!
