Unusual sights of Cologne
- Hohenzollern Bridge: There are pedestrian and bicycle paths on both sides of the bridge. In addition, there are viewing platforms and equestrian sculptures.
- Fountain Der Heizelmannchenbrunnen: they say that gnomes used to live in Cologne, who completed unfinished work for the inhabitants of the city, putting forward a condition - no one should try to see them. But one woman - the wife of a tailor, came up with many tricks to meet with them, to which the dwarfs were offended and left the city. The composition of this fountain consists of the figure of that very curious woman (she is standing on the stairs, holding the lantern in her hands) and the stumbling and fallen gnomes. In addition, the composition includes bas-reliefs depicting scenes of working gnomes and lines from a poem by August Kopisz.
