Forstbotanischer Garten Köln
Cologne’s forest botanical garden lies in Rodenkirchen. The city describes collections of trees and shrubs from temperate regions and identifies the rhododendron ravine, heath garden and Japanese section. The adjoining Friedenswald is described separately by the municipal forest service.
Forstbotanischer Garten Köln — trees in contrasting settings
Cologne’s forest botanical garden makes its tree collections accessible on foot. Changes in planting, terrain and water give each section a different character.
The city identifies a rhododendron ravine and collections with trees from North America, China and Japan. It also describes a path through the ravine designed to improve access. The photograph shows fountains among planted banks.
Compare the close view of a planted slope with the more open composition around the water. The garden is easiest to read as a sequence of settings that shape how you encounter the trees.
