Bus connection to Fühlinger See: sport and relaxation for everyone!

An exciting development has recently occurred at Fühlinger See in Cologne for all those seeking relaxation and water sports enthusiasts. Since this year, there has been discussion about how the connection to the popular leisure resort, which is considered both a recreational area and a sports facility, can be improved. How ksta.de reported, a proposal from the SPD parliamentary group in the Chorweiler district council envisages building a new bus stop directly at the P1 parking lot on the regatta course. The parking lot is heavily used in the warm months and getting there is often a challenge - especially for people with limited mobility.

Currently, visitors can mainly reach Lake Fühlinger via the “Oranjehofstraße” and “Seeberg” stops, which are about a 15 to 20 minute walk from the water areas. A survey has shown that this distance represents an unnecessary hurdle for many. The proposal to create a stop met with great approval in the district council, even if there are more critical voices. Lilo Heinrich, non-party, said that an expansion would only make sense for larger events. However, Norbert Schott from the CDU pointed out that the application was initially just a review and did not require immediate implementation.

Public transport connections in focus

The journey to Fühlinger See is varied in terms of associations. According to the information on koeln-fuehlinger-see.de, you can easily reach the lake by bus or train. To do this, take lines 12 or 15 in the direction of Chorweiler to the Wilhelm-Sollmann-Straße stop and change there to bus line 122. Alternatively, you can take the Heimersdorf stop and then take bus 122 to the Seeberg stop. This shows that you can be flexible when it comes to access to the lake, although service may occasionally be limited, especially at certain times.

Various parking options are available for drivers, including the parking spaces on the regatta course and other options along Neusser Landstrasse. Getting there by car is easy and well signposted. With a little planning, Fühlinger See is easily accessible - whether on foot, by bus or by car.

Accessibility for everyone

Another important aspect is accessibility in public transport. How on deutschland-sperrfrei.de The federal government is striving to achieve complete accessibility in local public transport by 2026. This development is particularly important for people with mobility restrictions, as comprehensive measures such as ramps, acoustic signals and tactile guidance systems are planned. Better access to local transport could make traveling to Fühlinger See much easier, especially for people with disabilities.

The discussion about a new bus stop at Fühlinger See shows that people are thinking about improving accessibility with a good hand - so that summer, sun and sport come a little closer for all Cologne residents and their visitors. The application was accepted without changes and the next step will now be to examine its feasibility. The efforts to further optimize the leisure activities on Lake Fühlinger remain exciting!
