A monument in the forest that makes history palpable
On September 13, 2026, the Hunting Lodge in Kottenforst in Bonn will open its doors for the Open Monument Day. Those who come here will not experience a classic city event, but a special event experience in the middle of the forest: historical backdrop, fresh air, and a piece of Bonn's history to touch.
History meets nature experience
The Hunting Lodge is regarded as a former horse exchange station from the 18th century and is closely linked to Schloss Herzogsfreude and the baroque path network in Kottenforst. This combination of monument protection, landscape, and living memory makes the place so appealing. Visitors immerse themselves in an atmosphere that combines tranquility, history, and a desire for discovery.
Program with family character and forest flair
On-site, there will be information about the history of the Hunting Lodge and historical hunting. This will be complemented by insights into nature conservation and forest maintenance. Additionally, there will be hands-on activities like logging with horses, crafting with natural materials, and tree climbing. Beverages, grill items, and cakes will be offered at cost price, rounding off the Open Monument Day experience pleasantly.
Travel, location, and practical notes
The Hunting Lodge is located in the forest and is only accessible on foot or by bicycle. The public transport note leads via the S23 from Bonn Central Station to Meckenheim Kottenforst, a request stop. Parking is available at the edge of the forest parallel to the Reichsstraße between Bonn-Röttgen and Meckenheim. In case of heavy rain and thunderstorms, the outdoor program in the forest may be shortened or completely canceled. This very framework makes the event particularly authentic and close to nature.
Conclusion: A special Sunday for monument and nature fans
The Hunting Lodge connects Bonn's monument history with a relaxing trip into the greenery. Anyone who appreciates historical places, forest atmosphere, and a family-friendly program should not miss this date. The experience thrives on the unique location, informative offerings, and the quiet, impressive backdrop in Kottenforst.
