In the 19th century, a ring of fortifications was built around the city of Cologne. 46 kilometers long and lined with several forts. One of them is Fort VI, and it was largely demolished in the 1920s. In 1923, the Felsengarten was built in the rubble trenches of the former fortress complex. When you walk through the Felsengarten, you feel like you are in a fairy tale. It seems enchanted there, and the tall trees seem to threaten you as they line the paths. A small path leads up to a plateau, from which you have a beautiful view of the Decksteiner Weiher and the forest.

<< Hidden Paradise at Decksteiner Weiher - Fort VI and the Rock Garden >> "It was a few days ago, to be precise since the beginning of the 19th century, when Cologne was so coveted that it apparently had to be protected. At that time, the people of Cologne came up with the idea of protecting their city with an almost 50 km long ring of fortifications. One of these is Fort VI, also known as Fort Deckstein. In 1923, the Felsengarten (rock garden) was created on the former grounds, and today, not only because of its unusual nature, it is definitely one of Cologne's absolute insider tips. The rock garden has an almost fairytale-like quality. Due to the tall trees and rock formations, it is always relatively dim here, it almost seems enchanted. And so one would not be surprised if one or the other mythical creature came towards you from the forest. https://geheimtipp-koeln.de/geheimtipp/11-gruene-oasen-in-koeln-versteckte-paradiese/"
