Guided Story
Can you hear the gentle croaking? Look around, and you might spot one of the many frogs living in the serene ponds of Kottenforst. Did you know that this forest was once part of a vast hunting ground for the Cologne Electors? Imagine them wandering among these ancient oaks, seeking game. As you look up at the tree canopies, picture how the sunlight filtered through the dense leaves back then. Behind you, in the shadows of the trees, lies a rich diversity of plants just waiting to be discovered. As you walk further, you might hear the rustle of deer, curiously approaching. Kottenforst is not just a place to relax; it's a living piece of history.
