About this place Aachener Weiher (Cruising)

The park around the Aachener Weiher pond, just west of Rudolfplatz, is Cologne's best-known outdoor cruising area and has been for decades. It appears here for that history, not as a recommendation. Homosexuality is legal in Germany and cruising is tolerated in practice, but sex in a public place can be prosecuted as Erregung öffentlichen Ärgernisses (§183a StGB) and police do patrol known spots. GayOut does not publish meeting points, times or directions for outdoor spots. The safer ways to meet men in Cologne are the bars, saunas and cruising clubs listed on this page, and the apps. Go with the same caution you would use in any park at night: tell someone where you are, keep your phone charged and valuables at home, and leave the way you came.

It was very crowded and the waiting times clearly indicated massive overwork on the part of the staff or the staff planner.

Unfortunately, card payments are only accepted for amounts over €10. The service was extremely unfriendly. The selection was poor.

A dream come true, as every Cologne resident knows. Diving is only recommended with a diving mask. 😄

Located in the green oasis of calm that is Hiroshima-Nagasaki Park is Aachener Weiher, this is a beautiful artificial lake,a big expanse of water that adds to the joy of walking around this park, loved our visit here in December, lake looked superb, very photogenic, if you're planning a holiday to Cologne this lake and park are most definitely well worth checking out and easy to locate along Aachenerstraße.
