This pleasant cycling route takes you from Herzogenrath, a historic border town just next to the Netherlands, down to the vibrant city of Aachen. Covering just over 14 km, the ride is mostly on quiet roads and dedicated paths, making it ideal for a relaxing spin. The route meanders through gentle countryside and suburban areas, offering a moderate ascent of about 163 meters—it’s enough to get your heart pumping but won’t leave you gasping.

Herzogenrath is known for its fascinating mix of German and Dutch influences, while Aachen is famous for its UNESCO-listed cathedral and Roman history.

Expect a calm ride through green patches and friendly neighborhoods, perfect for a weekend outing or an easy commute.

Once you arrive in Aachen, reward yourself with a coffee and a slice of the city’s legendary Printen (gingerbread). Don’t forget to check out the impressive cathedral before heading home!
