Cranachwäldchen

Tourist attraction City park

👍👍 At first I was skeptical about going for a walk there because when I saw Google Photos I thought it was ok. Nevertheless, I went there spontaneously, I can say it was simply beautiful. This is a hidden place but a magical moment to look at nature. People often mention Nice, walk, beach, Rhine,

    It's not necessarily the most picturesque forest you can find in the area. There is a gay-friendly nudist beach at the end of the forest, further towards the Rhine. Highly recommended in summer if you want to relax in peace and soak up the sun.

    Very quiet meadow area that is not overcrowded with tourists, with many smaller sandy or stony beach sections where you can also dip your feet into the Rhine. It's very nice here, especially for people who just don't want to hear anything and want to be left alone.

  • 4/5 Michael T. 7 months ago on Google • 191 reviews
    Beautiful (former) Rhine meadow with small beaches and a beautiful view of the river and other banks. Plenty of space for people and animals (dogs) and plenty of peace and quiet for relaxation, reading or chatting with friends. The neighboring harbor area and the influx of water dampen the overall enjoyment somewhat.

    Secluded bays, lots of shade if desired, thanks to beautiful trees. Some stones, but also a lot of sand. There was a pleasant crowd and the view was okay too.

    I think it's great here. In some places there is a stone beach, in other places there is a sandy beach. The public order office visits often, which I find okay. Some idiots leave their rubbish lying around - the Cranachwäldchen can't help it

    A little piece of nature in the middle of Cologne. Invites you to go for a walk and have a picnic. Very easy to reach by bike.

    (Translated by Google) Typical cruising area for guys near the Niehler harbor. Many small trails that make the forest quite varied. Those who send out clear signals can have fun here with a lot of body awareness. Be sure to put valuables down beforehand. (Original) Typisches Cruisinggebiet für Kerle in der Nähe des Niehler Hafens. Viele kleine Trampelpfade, die recht abwechslungsreich den Wald gestalten. Wer eindeutige Signale aussendet kann hier seinen Spaß mit viel Körpergefühl erleben. Wertsachen unbedingt vorher ablegen.
