Very nice walk around the Decksteiner Weiher, you can plan around an hour for one walk (+ breaks). Since the area is very spacious, it doesn't seem as crowded as other green places in Cologne. Lots of seating and even a small fitness area. Highly recommended!

Fort Deckstein is part of the former fortification ring around the city of Cologne and can now only be visited as part of the “Day of the Forts”. An impressive building with a history that would certainly have a lot to tell if the meter-thick walls could talk. Today it is in the immediate vicinity of the beautiful Decksteiner Weiher, which invites you to take long walks in summer and winter. The rock garden next to the fort is now a great habitat for smaller animals.

Small but nice. The rock garden is not particularly large but worth seeing. You can also do a lot of hiking there.

The former Fort VI of the Prussian fortress ring is a great facility, as it is still actively used today for sports clubs and music groups. It was planned by Konrad Adenauer in the 1920s when he forced the Allies to completely demolish the facilities in favor of using them for sport, recreation and culture. The rock garden is beautifully laid out and shows many pieces of fortress material. I was there on Fort Day 2023 and was even allowed to visit the original part of the fort below ground. That was very impressive and is highly recommended.

Fort Deckstein / Lindenthal was completed in 1876 and razed in 1921. It is one of the few remaining fortress structures along the military ring

old fortifications with several forts from the 19th century. Fort Deckstein is Fort VI and is located in Cologne's green belt with a barbecue area, pond and many paths to relax. Particularly popular with dog owners. In autumn, great lighting atmospheres thanks to colored maple leaves, etc.

Schöne Umgebung zum spazieren gehen. Viel Wald, frische Luft und der Decksteiner Weiher ist nur ein paar Schritte entfernt 🦢👌🏼🌳

Were visiting the concert and asked the hotel where you could go for a nice walk with your dog. With today's temperatures around 39 degrees, it was just right here. Used the parking lot on Gleueler Str and walked through the shady forest to the fort. Not much remains of the former facility. Exciting history. We continued through the gate onto the grounds, towards the pond, looking where our dog could get in there. Property accessible, cross country or on paths.

Nice old fort. Unfortunately we couldn't go into the fort.

Very nice park and canal man-made lake behind for a walk.

Great for a walk

A nice place to walk.

Nice park, a bit of history. There's wide open space, forest, artificial lake, and part of the old fortress. And probably more of the old fortress under your feet.

Nice place for walking with family and friends!

You can go for a walk, especially with a dog, except for the plague of geese that are found throughout Cologne

(Translated by Google) Granted, it is pretty, the little valley near Fort VI - but it's just a small valley, about 30 m long, and that's it. The children climbed around in it for 5 minutes and then they went on. Nice as an alternative section on a walk on the Decksteiner pond, but actually it does not deserve its own Google entry. (Original) Zugegeben, hübsch ist es, das Tälchen in der Nähe vom Fort VI- aber es ist eben nur ein Tälchen, ca. 30 m lang, und das war es auch schon. Die Kinder sind 5 Minuten darin herumgeklettert und dann ging es weiter. Nett als alternativer Abschnitt bei einem Spaziergang am Decksteiner Weiher, aber eigentlich hat es keinen eigenen Google-Eintrag verdient.

(Translated by Google) I've known the fort since the 1950s. Back then there was a baker in it. He drove his goods in a horse-drawn cart to Repgostr. The bread in a box was very tasty.
