À vélo de Würselen à 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. The path is mostly gentle, but there’s a little over 90 meters of climbing, ensuring you get a bit of a workout without breaking a sweat.

Würselen, known for its close proximity to Aachen and its traditional carnival celebrations, will wave you off. You’ll roll along quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, avoiding busy streets for most of the trip, with tranquil green patches and some forested sections along the way.

Stolberg awaits at the end, famous for its well-preserved medieval old town, crowned by a striking hilltop castle. Why not treat yourself to a pastry at a local café before exploring some of Stolberg’s charming alleys? Don’t forget your camera—those half-timbered houses and castle views are definitely worth a snap!
