Quick ride by bicycle from Würselen to Stolberg

Hop on your bike for a nice ride from Würselen to Stolberg! This roughly 13 km route takes you through the scenic North Rhine-Westphalia countryside, mixing in a good bit of paved surfaces with some stretches of gravel and paving stones—so a hybrid or trekking bike will be a good companion.
