Sortie rapide à vélo de Stolberg à Aix-la-Chapelle

Get ready for a scenic ride from Stolberg to Aachen! Starting in Stolberg, a charming town known for its medieval castle and beautiful old town, the route stretches just over 18 km, taking you west towards the vibrant city of Aachen. Expect mostly smooth sailing: about 85% of the surfaces are paved, with the lion’s share being nice, rolling asphalt.

The ride includes gentle ascents and descents (around 150 meters up, 158 meters down), making it suitable for most cyclists with a bit of stamina. You’ll cruise along quiet roads and dedicated cycling paths for much of the journey—so there’s plenty of opportunity to take it easy and soak in the countryside views.

Once you roll into Aachen, you’ll find yourself in a city famous for its impressive cathedral (a UNESCO site), lively student scene, and top-notch bakeries. Whether you’re in it for the history or the pastries, finishing your ride in Aachen is the perfect reward. Don’t forget to bring your camera and maybe stop for a coffee along the way!
