Things to do
Rhein-Erft-Kreis has enough schlosser to go around
Visits to local castles are a great way to enjoy German heritage in Rhein-Erft-Kreis without having to delve into the urban sprawl of Cologne. Pretty Burg Bergerhausen – now a popular filming location and wedding venue – is a good place to start. It rests elegantly on the edge of a lake, ringed by charming parklands and spiked with beautiful baroque towers. Schloss Paffendorf, in Bergheim, is also on the menu. Its Renaissance exterior houses a fine-dining brasserie and sumptuous wine-tasting spaces. Then there are the Augustusburg and Falkenlust palaces, in Bruhl, a UNESCO-tagged display of fountains and carved staircases that encapsulate the rococo style.
Activities
Rhein-Erft-Kreis – a prime base for excursions
Rhein-Erft-Kreis vacation rentals cling to the outskirts of Cologne or pepper smaller towns and villages, like Kerpen and Bergheim, just a little to the west of it. All are within 40 minutes' drive of the heart of North Rhine-Westphalia's largest town. That means you're always within shot of the walking tours that wind through the historic Altstadt district. Some will aim to reveal the long history of the great Cologne Cathedral. Others will spin tales of wars and invasions in the Rhineland. Then there are those that concern themselves with the food of the beer halls, or even the beer itself – it's a real German pastime.
Weather
Timing that Rhein-Erft-Kreis break
If you've opted for Rhein-Erft-Kreis vacation rentals as a way to fuse a sightseeing trip to Cologne with a taste of the gorgeous Rhineland backcountry, then it might be wise to plan your stay for months like June, July and August. They represent the middle of the German summer, bringing regular temperatures in the high 70s and low 80s, along with cloudless skies. Autumn, in September and October, is also beautiful, here – just wait for the district's forests to start changing color.
Natural features
Woods and parks in Rhein-Erft-Kreis
Bounded by the Erft River on one side, and the city of Cologne and the Rhine on the other, Rhein-Erft-Kreis manages to pack in a dashing swathe of quintessential west German countryside. The thick woodlands of the Konigsdorfer Forst cover its heart, a blanket of fir trees and beeches that hide moss-caked undergrowth and hiking paths. In Bruhl, the 18th-century baroque gardens of the Augustusburg Palace offer a medley of hedgerow mazes, tree-lined avenues and manicured gardens, dotted with elegant sculptures.
