Fort X is a historic Prussian brick fortress built in the 1800's. Access to the Fort is free, however finding parking may be difficult. You can walk around the different levels and layers of the fort, as well as view the rose gardens on the upper level.

(Translated by Google) Good cruising opportunities 👍😉 (Original) Gute Cruising Möglichkeiten 👍😉

This fort was part of the second line of the city defences, built when gunpowder was in use. It is now probably the better preserved fort in the city, "lost" in the middle of the ring, with an amazing rose garden. If it had some kind of permanent public service, like a thematic bar/restaurant, it would be even better.

(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.

Things like this just seem so "ho, hum" in Germany. There's so much history! This is a fort built in the mid 1800's. There's a rose garden ON TOP!! And there are a few great kid parks right around it. It's almost totally hidden from view on the street. If you find Lent Park, it's right next door. You can't miss it. Highly recommended!!

Very beautiful place to walk around on a sunny afternoon. If you ever have time and want to enjoy some fresh air in the middle of the city just have a walk around this place. Unfortunately dogs are not allowed in the whole place but you can go around through the park and have some leisure time with your dog there.

The rose gardens are really well maintained. Lovely spaces and the ruins of the fort make it an interesting visit.

Great walks and relax space middle of the city

1 of 11 forts left during the Prussian defense. Fort X is the most well preserved. Parks and walking trails surround the fort. Great historical location.

(Translated by Google) I would have expected more at the Rheinstrand in Cologne, but in the woods you can expect something you expect in Cologne. (Original) Am Rheinstrand hätte ich gerade in Köln mehr erwartet, aber im Wald erwartet einem was man in Köln erwartet.

(Translated by Google) The rose garden is really wonderful, beautiful and worth seeing ... When you come into the garden there is a wonderful fragrance in the air and just smells of a lot of roses. A small flower paradise in the middle of Cologne where you can let your mind wander ... Take a book with you and enjoy the atmosphere .... And the sight of the different roses in all the walls ... (Original) Der Rosengarten ist wirklich wunder wunderschön und sehenswert... Wenn man in den Garten hinein kommt ist ein wunderbarer Duft in der Luft und riecht einfach nur nach ganz vielen Rosen. Ein kleines Blumenparadies mitten in Köln wo man die Seele baumeln lassen kann... Nehmt euch ein Buch mit und genießt die Atmosphäre.... Und dem Anblick der unterschiedlichen Rosen in allen Gemäuer...

(Translated by Google) Super well-kept, compliments to the green area staff. Nice old fortress and great rose garden (Original) Super gepflegt, Kompliment an die Grünflächenmitarbeiter. Schöne alte Festung und toller Rosengarten

Lovely place, the fort has been adapted to a big Rose garden on the top which is very nice and quiet. Well maintained. On the bottom you can find many children activities.

Lovely gardens and a quiet spot for relaxation and yoga. Although I'm not sure what's inside the fort or whether it's possible to enter, but the outside was so serene and had a few spectacular photo spots. I'd definitely recommend visiting it on a sunny day for the best photograph experience. Expect to spend 15-30 minutes here as I don't see much to do or much distance to walk, but I'd recommend visiting if you're around.

Chill and interesting, needed to look up history on Wikipedia, no plaques or guides, but still very cool history.

Very nice place to rest and admire thousands of roses

Very pretty flower garden at the top

(Translated by Google) That there is something like that in the middle of Cologne ... A well-preserved remnant of the old Prussian fortress ring has become a great rose garden.

It doesn't worth it. Kind a waste of time. Its only about history of cacao. I paid 10 Euro for student's ticket but I can buy 6-7 delicious chocolate from supermarket with this many. Nothing more than doesn't worth it

Historic site. Was part of the defenses of Cologne. You can visit it on the so called "Tag des Denkmals" They offer guided tours on that occasion where they explain the purpose of the Fort and its layout. The guides wear historic uniforms on that to make tour into the casemates more lively. Additionally you expect some basic barbecue, beer and soft drinks.

Large and safe playground for kids

Great fun paintballing.

Nice spot to relax.

(Translated by Google) Great for families, as the children can play nicely here. Looks clean and is apparently well looked after too.

Love this place. It's usually empty and quiet to sit around and read a book

Adorable neat place to visit

Please surprise. Its a fort with a moat around it, except the moat is dry and people tend to do sport it in. The castle has been filled in and replaced with a very well kept garden.

Nice to walk around, but bloody Rona, I couldn't see the rose garden 😔

Great place to know in Köln. Beautiful rose garden in the summer. Also awesome playground!!
