Bikepacking from Aachen to Trier

Starting your ride in Aachen, a city known for its historic charm and beautiful cathedrals like the Aachen Cathedral (a UNESCO World Heritage site), you're in for a scenic adventure to Trier, another city rich in history. Pack some snacks and plenty of water, as you’ll be cycling just over 204 kilometers through varied terrain, much of it on smooth asphalt. 85% of the route is covered with asphalt, which makes for a comfortable ride, and you'll be gaining quite an altitude along the way, with ascents climbing to around 2,530 meters.

As you pedal through the picturesque landscapes, 43% of your journey will take you along pleasant paths, with quiet cycleways making up another 28%. This gives you plenty of time to daydream or enjoy the sights without much hassle from busy traffic. Expect around 9% of your ride to be on roads less traveled, adding a bit of peace to the journey.

Ending in Trier, known for its impressive Roman architecture like the Porta Nigra, you'll feel like you've traveled not just across kilometers but also through history. Don’t forget to reward yourself with some delicious German food and maybe a local wine from the famed Moselle region! Enjoy the ride!
