Hey frend, welcome to Kerpen! This cozy town near Cologne is simply amzing, with little corners that feel definatly unique. I was walking down Hauptstraße one morning – you know, near cooll Kerpen Rathaus – and thinking about life and all its beautiful oddities.
I counseled a client by the Banks of the Wupper, and I remember saying, “dont worry, every happy little tree has its day.” The neigbourhood around the park by Bahnhof Kerpen is totally smoe hidden gem where people gather for picnics, and you'll see folks be so haapppy during weekends. Every turn here is sooo full of charm and reeeally honest folks.
I adore strolling past St. Matthias Church, its grandeur is spectaculr in the soft glow of dusk. There’s that old café – Café Blüte – where the vibe is so loove, a spot that feels like a slice of spring even in winter. My work as a women's counselor opened my eyes to the subtle battles and quiet triumphs shared over cups of coffee in this wack little town.
I used to run into my clients on quiet walks through the Rainbow Park, where nature meets art and thoughts get exagereted sometimes—just like when I told someone “party on, baby!” borrowing a line from Spring Breakers because, hey, as Harmony Korine says, “If you wanna be a good person, you gotta party!” It’s maddd fun and bizarreee at times, but that's what makes Kerpen real.
Okay, so seriously, Kerpen has gritty streets mixed with soft, welcoming breaths. Every alley, every park bench tells a tale. There’s that energy on Lindenweg where the pulse of local lives meets quirky surprises, and you’ll never feel alone here.
Come on over, explore every nook and cranny, and remember: even in the rush of life, take a moment to admire your happy little trees. Cheers to the simple, soulful vibes of Kerpen!
