The location in a suburb of Cologne is quiet and offers attractive possibilities for excursions and activities nearby. Some few examples:
- a golf course can be reached within 10 minutes both by car or by bicylcle
- there are abundant possibilities for walks along the river Rhine 10 minutes by car or 15 minutes by bicycle
- walks in a forest and small lakes are as well only 10 minutes by car or 15 minutes by bicycle
- deer park, mini golf and the only open-air pool located in a forest in Cologne (open in summer only) are just 10-15 minutes by car (all nearby to each other)
The quiet and attractive location is ideally supplemented by the advantages of a main city without their normal drawbacks. One can forget about parking problems in the inner city:
- a big supermarket, bakery, florist, pharmacy, snack bar, pubs internet cafe, laundry and some other shops are in walking distance (less than 10 minutes)
- a small shopping mall can be reached in about 15-20 minutes on foot (bank with ATM, postal services, bakery, stationery shop, restaurants (Croatian and Indian), cafe, optometrist, shoemaker, laundry services etc.)
- with the suburban rail network (big "Park & Ride" available) there are direct and fast connections. For example to the trade fair in 13 minutes, to the main railway station in 15 minutes, to the next city (Duesseldorf) in a bit more than 30 minutes
- the tram (street car) takes you in just 15 minutes to the front of the Koeln Arena (many big events are being held there, it can seat 16.000 people) and in 23 minutes to the city center (Newmarket)
