    Great hike or walk around the lake. Seen 4 black water buffalo and 1 wild boar. There was also a bit of Indian summer to see. In a small section it went over fallen trees and was a bit muddy and slippery, but easy to do with sturdy shoes.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful nature reserve. The lake is completely fenced, so that the animals have their peace there. Two water buffalos also live there. Very nice place for a walk with sturdy shoes. (Original) Schönes Naturschutzgebiet. Der See ist komplett umzäunt, sodass die Tiere dort ihre Ruhe haben. Des Weiteren leben dort zwei Wasserbüffel. Sehr schöner Ort für einen Spaziergang mit festen Schuhen.

    Very nice quiet forest area. The view of the lake with water buffalo and cattle is idyllic.

    Very beautiful here. The paths are sometimes muddy so only use suitable footwear. Also pay attention to the roots. There are only a few benches so you should be able to walk for half an hour. Camping, grilling and music should not be held here. It is a nature reserve. There are information boards about the animals in the habitat and the vegetation. You cannot walk on the water because it serves as a retreat for water birds. So not for anyone who wants to go to the shore. You can walk completely around the ditch. About 1 hour comfortable.

    Beautiful and quiet lake just next to Cologne. But heavily protected by electrified fence.

  • 5/5 Micha D. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very pleasant environment for walking. Very quiet despite the proximity to the main street. Partly fallen trees on the paths. (Original) Sehr angenehme Umgebung zum spazierengehen. Sehr ruhig trotz Nähe zur Hauptsraße. Teilweise umgestürzte Bäume auf den Wegen.

    Very nice little place where you feel like you can switch off in peace. Of course it's good for nature conservation, but it's still a shame that you can't walk along the bank. In fact, you can also meet wild boars.

  • 5/5 Silvana H. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Simply relaxing for long or short walks. You can cycle around the nature reserve just as well, but you should always watch out for pedestrians. In every season the forest is beautiful there. (Original) Für lange oder auch kurze Spaziergänge einfach schön entspannend. Fahrradfahren kann man um den Naturschutz Gebiet ebenso gut, doch sollte immer auf Fußgänger geachtet werden. In jeder Jahreszeit ist der Wald dort wunderschön.

    nothing special here :D

  • 5/5 Peter M. 6 months ago on Google • 106 reviews
    Beautiful biotope, and if you're lucky, a few water buffalo too. It's best to visit early in the morning.

  • 5/5 Kado D. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It would be a shame and a disaster if the city were to destroy the nature reserve for housing. For many people, going for a walk alone is a break from everyday stress (Original) Es wäre schade und eine Katastrophe wenn die Stadt das Naturschutzgebiet wegen Wohnraum zerstören würde. Alleine da spazieren zu gehen ist für viele Menschen eine Erholung vom Alltagsstress mal wegzukommen

    Nice!

  • 5/5 Erika S. 7 months ago on Google
    Wunderschöner kleoner Rundweg , belohnt wird man durch die Wasserbüffelherde

  • 5/5 AP 10 months ago on Google
    Ich gehe hier gerne mit meinem Hund spazieren. Sehr schön dort.

  • 4/5 Leprechaun In a T. 1 year ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Actually very nice, you can also see the buffalo every now and then. A bit impractical are the sometimes very narrow paths and the fact that there are fallen trees on many paths (both of which make it difficult to get around there with a pram or wheelchair, which is usually not a problem) (Original) Eigentlich sehr schön, auch die Büffel sieht man hin und wieder. Ein bisschen unpraktisch sind die zum Teil sehr schmalen Wege und dass auf vielen Wegen umgekippte Bäume liegen (beides erschwert es mit Kinderwagen oder Rollstuhl dort unterwegs zu sein was normalerweise kein Problem darstellt)

  • 5/5 Harald R. 1 year ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The P&R car park is a good starting point. Well worth it (Original) Vom P&R Parkplatz ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt. Lohnt sich sehr

  • 3/5 Pat Jacobs (. 1 year ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice to go for a walk with or without a dog. The stream is great and close to the Dünnwalder forest pool. Even for the little ones, it's always worth a visit when it's warm. The game show is great and it's really sweet when the piglets and deer sniff the food out of your hand. (Original) Sehr schön zum spazieren gehen mit oder ohne hund . Der bachlauf ist toll und direkte nähe zum dünnwalder waldbad . Auch für die kleinen ist es immer einen besuch wert wenn es warm ist. Die Wildschau ist toll und es ist total süss wenn die frischlinge und rehe einem das futter aus der hand schnuffeln.

    Hier kann man schön spazieren gehen, wenn man etwas von der Straße entfernt ist ist es dort auch sehr ruhig. Kenne noch nicht alles dort, muss ich mal mit dem Rad erkunden (Translated by Google) Here you can go for a nice walk, if you are a little away from the road it is also very quiet there. I don't know everything there yet, I have to explore it by bike

    (Translated by Google) Great conservation area with water buffalo in the lake and Galloway cattle (Original) Tolles Landschaftsschutzgebiet mit Wasserbüffeln im See und Galloway Rindern

  • 5/5 Hans a P. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice nature reserve where there is something different to discover in every season. There are also some very interesting discoveries to be made in the area. Sturdy shoes are recommended, and those who want to observe animals on and around the lake should bring binoculars. (Original) Sehr schönes Naturschutzgebiet bei dem es zu jeder Jahreszeit etwas anderes zu entdecken gibt. Auch in der Umgebung gibt es ein paar sehr interessante Entdeckungen zu machen. Festes Schuhwerk ist zu empfehlen, wer Tiere auf und am See beobachten möchte sollte sich ein Fernglas mitbringen.

    (Translated by Google) A mystical place. Quite unexpectedly, this deep valley with small lakes and primeval vegetation appears in the forest. From above you have a great view of it. The "valley" is a former gravel pit. (Original) Ein mystischer Ort. Ganz unerwartet erscheint im Wald dieses tiefe Tal mit kleine Seen und urwachsige Pflanzen. Von oben hat man ein toller Blick hinein. Das "Tal" is ein ehemaliger Kiesgrube.
