Baadenberger Senke, Stöckheimer See und Große Laache

Here you are, standing in a lush sanctuary that has been part of Cologne since 2007. This nature reserve, nestled between the districts of Auweiler and Mengenich, offers a refreshing escape from urban life. The Baadenberger Depression, Stöckheimer Lake, and Große Laache are home to a rich variety of flora and fauna. If you look to your right, you might spot some birds nesting among the reeds. Enjoy the tranquility and fresh air as you take in the natural surroundings. This area beautifully demonstrates how conservation and city living can coexist.
