Peacock meadow

Highlight • Forest

Diversified! If you want to see something new and want to relax your eyes in the countryside, you have a very good opportunity here. In addition to the flora, one of the most worth visiting places in Cologne for me.

Bamboo Grove in Forstbotanischer Garten Köln

Highlight • Forest

During the tour of the Forest Botanical Garden, we were asked how long it took the bamboo to reach a height of 12 to 13 meters. The answer that no one even came close to was: six weeks.
