Boat rental
Rowing and pedal boats wait at the jetty for a leisurely trip across the calm pond. Rentals run alongside the kiosk's hours, with the last boat handed out around sunset. As the association isn't run for profit, boating stays deliberately cheap and serves as a social meeting point for the neighbourhood.
Food & drink
The waterside kiosk ("Büdchen") sells soft drinks and light fare such as Bockwurst sausage and, at times, homemade cake. The adjoining beer garden invites you to linger by the water. There's no minimum-consumption requirement for individuals, and the restrooms are free for all visitors.
Opening hours & season
The kiosk and boat rental open in the spring and summer season: Monday to Friday from 1 pm, and Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays from 11 am – but only in suitable weather and until it gets dark. When in doubt, it's worth phoning the kiosk first to check whether it's open.
Location & getting there
Kiosk and boat rental sit right on Kalscheurer Weiher in Cologne's green belt, a protected landscape area in the south of the city near Zollstock. The pond is a quiet natural idyll, easily reached on foot or by bike along the green paths.
