Germany Cranehouse, Cologne
This spot offers a great view towards Cologne and is great for sunset shots.
Photography Tips
The riverside offers many great elements you can use as a foreground. The stones are perfect for portrait format photos when the Rhine is low.
I would recommend a ND filter to smoothen the water of the river and something like 16mm to get as much as possible into your frame. If you are very close to the stones you should think about focus stacking to get everything pretty sharp.
Another good tip is to come here during winter on workdays, because the left 2 cranehouses are lighted during sunset / blue hour.
