I come here quite often, really, because it's so lively and there are countless beautiful cafés and small There are boutiques here. The neighborhood simply has a great creative atmosphere. This shop was located right in our path. I just had to go in for a quick look. Yes, there are so many cute things here Accessories that perfectly match summer. Yes, everything beautifully colorful and cheerful. To be honest, I like bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and rings best when they are handmade. Handcrafting holds a very special value for me and means much more personally than Industrially manufactured accessories. Yes, but of course that's a matter of personal taste. They're all beautiful! Now we've arrived at Rossmann, because I still need a few things for home. This Deospray is really great and especially practical in warm weather. Moreover We still need laundry detergent. I've paid for everything now. You see signs like this in Germany, especially in summer. Businesses or restaurants use this to show that it It is pleasantly cool inside. Ehrenfeld is full of international restaurants. Turkish, Arabic, Fast food and of course also German restaurants. What I love most here, though, are the small side streets.

I really enjoy coming here. There are some unusual ones here. Clothing that you won't find everywhere, because it's not produced in mass quantities. Moreover, it's found so many original decorative items. There's also an antique shop here. Unfortunately, it's closed today. Closed, that's why I couldn't show it to you. And here's another boutique as well. with really nice things. These little denim wallets are absolutely adorable, aren't they? These I also liked the Weste, but I already have a similar one at home, so I didn't take it. Not purchased. Generally, clothing and accessories in such small artist boutiques slightly more expensive than in large chains like Zara or H&M. For example, the vest is approximately cost 50 euros. So far, there is no street in Cologne that truly feels like Feels like home. But this little alley always gives me a familiar sensation. That's why I always gladly come back here. Now I've sat down in a café. On one hand I wanted to have a coffee, on the other hand, I still have to work.
