New bus stop at Fühlinger See: Improvement for mobility!

Fühlinger See, Köln, Deutschland - The Fühlinger See, a popular local recreation area for Cologne and visitors, is a real gem for those seeking relaxation and sports enthusiasts in summer. The regatta route not only offers excellent training conditions for rowers and canoeists, but also attracts many strollers who want to enjoy nature. However, the journey to the regattabahn is currently as quite cumbersome for many visitors, especially for people with limited mobility, such as Bachhausen.

The footpath of the nearest bus stops "Oranjhofstrasse" and "Seeberg" is between 15 and 20 minutes, which is a greatest challenge for many. In order to counteract this problem, the SPD parliamentary group in the district council of Chorweiler has submitted an application to examine a new bus stop near P1 parking lot. This initiative met with a positive response in the last meeting, although the non -party district representative Lilo Heinrich expressed concerns about the need for an additional stop.

improved connection for all

Norbert Schott from the CDU emphasizes that it is initially only about the testing of the feasibility. Ayfer Sevim from the SPD made it clear that the application left open how the connection could be improved. In addition to a new stop, the bus lines are also considering a closer time. The application was finally decided without any changes, but on the part of the SPD there has been no further information or public communication on the next steps.

For those who do not rely on public transport, arrival by car remains the most pleasant option. The Fühlinger See can be easily reached via the Bundesautobahn A1, Cologne-Fühlingen junction. Parking spaces are available, especially at the P1 parking lot, where visitors can get directly to the "rudder island", as the Cologne Regatta Association explained.

sporty diversity on Fühlinger See

But not only rowing is the focus here! A newly installed slackline system in the start area of ​​the regatta route inspires athletes and visitors alike. This extraordinary sport promotes balance and concentration and was in cooperation with the Slackline Cologne e. V. realized. The selection of slacklines ranges from short, tightly tense tapes to demanding longlines of up to 50 meters, so there is something for everyone. This project is part of the sports development planning that aims to create free movement offers in public space. The Chorweiler district council funded the installation with 20,000 euros, as reported by the City of Cologne.

With the new bus stop and the diverse sporting offers, the Fühlinger See has the potential to draw even more people into nature and to offer a varied experience in the heart of Cologne. For many, this neighborhood could soon become a second home for sports and relaxation.
