  1. 6. The Belvedere Bridge in the west of Cologne: If you go to Cologne by car, we recommend stopping here. The bridge still not very well known and this is mainly because it is far from the city centre.

7. The sunflower fields in Gut Clarenhof: Another location that is fairly far from the city centre but is easily accessible by car.
