Children’s Farm

The children's farm is situated in the recreational area of Reuschenberger Busch and Selikumer Park on the River Erft.

The farm was created in 1978 and is committed to providing "city children" with an idea of life on a farm. The reconstructed farm now houses a nature and landscape centre where illustrations, showcases and individual objects are available to instruct children on five habitats: farm life, meadows and fields, forests, water and attics.

Also, under the motto "Horse and Coach", a permanent exhibition presents historic toys of the 19th century, sending both children and adults on a journey to a different time.

In close proximity to the children’s farm in the park of Selikum, visitors can discover the ’quot;the walk", a nature trail and the arboretum. This tree museum with its exotic trees offers an idea of vegetation in the region before the last glacial period.

Strolls along numerous paths in the meadowlands of the river Erft and the view into the deer reserve make a visit to this recreational area an unforgettable experience.
