Bike Tour, CityLeaks, Nippes, Streetart

It seemed to be a never ending story: Finding a pleasurable biking route from my new place in Neuehrenfeld to my workplace (near Reichenspergerplatz). I had to surrender several times because of insurmountable high streets or unexpected “mountains” in the middle of Cologne ;)

But today I dared to give it another try.

It was more accidentally that I came across this route. It was the 2nd January of this year and I had spent the day mainly in bed reviving from the NYE trip to Amsterdam when I felt the urge to see some daylight and move al fresco. So I caught my bike and just hit the road – no clear destination in my head. Or wait, I think I wanted to go to the Rhein first. But then a strong force pulled me in another direction – to Nippes. I hadn’t visited this district yet since I lived in Cologne again but it was always on my list of places I still wanted to explore with my camera. So the time had come!

The first thing I spotted when I was entering the “Nippes area” was a huge colorful turkey (?) :D by Dabtar from the Captain Borderline Crew created for the CityLeaks 2013

“In September 2013 CityLeaks Urban Art Festival’s second edition turned Cologne into a large stage for contemporary urban art. Already in 2011 CityLeaks pioneered in realizing a whole lot of creative interventions within the Cologne public space. With the help of more than 25 international and national artists artrmx e.V. and Colorrevolution e.V. laid the foundation to a large outdoor gallery.” (see + read more here)

In context of the festival a lot of new beautiful murals were created by different artists within the whole city. I already spotted a few of them :)
