Reviewed By Richard-Roadman - Heerhugowaard, The Netherlands
It' s a beautiful building in a very nice setting. The building is used these days as bistro (party center), art gallery, and, the reason for my visit, the RWE lignite-mining exposition.
This is a very informative exposition on the lignite (brown coal) mining in the area. It's not to big but it does cover all aspects. Also there is a very good movie (also in english) on how the process works and everything whats involved with the mine-works; really worth looking. When stay-ing in the area or if you want to know more of the mining activities in the area it's definitely worth a visit; entry is free.
There is also a very nice garden to stroll around if you have some time to spend.

Monte Mare Bedburg is a delightful modern thermal spa. We only visited the sauna area which was as good as it looks on the website!
We liked the way that it was organised - mixed sex locker rooms, spacious indoor restaurant and rest areas, good range of saunas, big garden and very nice outdoor pool. The one thing that surprised us a little was that there was no indoor pool. We were there on a hot June day and so were happy just using an outdoor pool but I think that in the winter the lack of an indoor pool would be a disadvantage.

5. Brauweiler Abbey

The Brauweiler Abbey is home of a cultural and service center of the LVR. After the dissolution of the Benedictine Abbey at the beginning of the 19th century, the cultural monument went through a varied history - from a hostel for beggars and workhouse to a concentration camp, Gestapo-Prison and state clinic for psychiatry. Today you can follow the historical traces of the almost 1000-year history of the abbey. In addition, the cultural center offers numerous events. Many of the premises can be rented for private and professional purposes.

....sieht man nicht nur Strommasten
in Hülle und Fülle sondern bereits
von weitem die Abtei Brauweiler.
Bevor man noch weiter westlich auf
eine Fülle von Wasserburgen stösst,
kann man hier in Pulheim-Brauweiler
alte Abteigebäude, die Abteikirche
(wird gerade renoviert) und einen
schönen Park besichtigen.
Auch im Zusammenhang mit der
interessanten Historie dieser Anlage
kann eine Besichtigung nur
empfohlen werden.
6. Skyhunters in Nature

Reviewed By Eric G
Wir haben den 1,5 Stunden-Spaziergang mit Eulen und Greifvögeln gebucht. Die Terminfindung hängt vom Wetter ab, da Spaziergänge bei schönem Wetter für Mensch und Tier angenehmer sind.
Die Gruppe bestand aus 6 Personen. 4 Besucher und die beiden sehr netten Falkner der Falknerei. Bei herbstlich sonnigem Wetter wurden uns Falkner, Falknerei und Tiere vorgestellt. Die Atmosphäre war von der ersten Minute sehr familiär.
Nachdem Tiere für den Spaziergang ausgewählt wurden, konnte der Spaziergang durch den Wald beginnen. Unterwegs waren wir mit zwei kleinen Steinkäuzchen Perseus und Rommie, der weißen Schleiereule Selenia sowie einem Bussard dessen Name ich vergessen habe. Für den Bussard-Träger war ein Sicherheitsabstand zur Gruppe einzuhalten. Generell wurden sehr viele Tipps gegeben, wie man mit den Tieren umgehen soll. Man hatte definitiv den Eindruck, dass die Falkner sehr gut für die Tiere sorgen.
Während dem Spaziergang wurde uns sehr viel über die Tiere erzählt. Alle Fragen zu den Tieren wurden sehr freundlich beantwortet. Zudem wurde auch über Erfolge im Artenschutz berichtet.
Die Zeit von 1,5 Stunden wurde nicht penibel eingehalten, sodass man sich nicht gehetzt fühlte.
Noch einmal hervorzuheben ist die Freundlichkeit der Falkner. Man hatte nicht das Gefühl mit fremden Menschen unterwegs zu sein. Die Atmosphäre war vielmehr wie bei einem Spaziergang mit Freunden.
Am besten liest man sich das Angebot auf der Homepage durch oder schaut mal auf der Facebook-Seite (öffentlich) vorbei. Eine direkte Kontaktaufnahme ist auch empfehlenswert.
Danke für dieses tolle Erlebnis! Wir werden definitiv wiederkommen.

This giant Gothic Cathedral, which until its completion in 1880 had been under construction for over 500 years, is perhaps Germany's most famous religious structure and includes two huge towers that serve as the defining symbol of Cologne's skyline.
Reviewed By James L - Mirfield, United Kingdom
To be honest I am not religious in any way, but even so I can't help but admire the planning and work that went into this superb building over hundreds of years. Externally it is one of the most impressive buildings in the world, but internally it is even more impressive. Well worth a visit.

9. Rosengart Museum

Reviewed By Johnny19039 - Dusseldorf, Germany
This lovely little museum is only a 40 minute drive away from the center of Duesseldorf. If you're interested in classic cars and although you might have never heard anything about the French brand "Rosengart", I can really recommend a visit to this museum, where you get a personal tour guided by the devoted and enthusiastic collector of Rosengart cars, Mr K.H. Bonk. The museum is only open from March to November, and only on Saturday and Sunday. You can have breakfast in the beer garden or the bistro (depending on weather conditions) from 9.30 am, the museum opens at 11 am.
Mr Bonk has been collecting these cars for over three decades now. About 30 of his 47 cars are on display in a barn. The cars are not only museum cars: all of them can actually be operated. And this is done every now and then.
The museum also features other collectables, e.g. lighting equipment, marine engines, bicycle auxiliary engines from the production of Rosengart company, important documents, the factory archive, and naive paintings by Lucien Rosengart.
Ample free parking is available, the entrance fee is EUR 4.00 per person. If you want to take photos you have to buy five postcards at a total price of EUR 5.00.
What I don't like is the fact that the information about opening times on the official website of the museum is not correct. And they don't tell you in advance how much you have to pay.

Wer sich für den Rennsport interessiert und die Geschichte von Graf Berghe von Trips kennt, sollte dieses Museum unbedingt gesehen haben! Hier lebte er früher, in seinen ehemaligen Wohnräumen spürt man die Aura des berühmten Rennfahrers und erfährt einiges über seine Person.sehr spannend und umfangreich!
