In bici da Aquisgrana a Alsdorf

Starting your ride in the historic city of Aachen, you’ll head north towards Alsdorf on a mostly paved cycling route that’s about 16.7 km long. Aachen, famous for its impressive cathedral (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and its location at the borders of Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands, makes a great place to kick things off.

The route is super bike-friendly, taking you mainly along dedicated cycle paths and quiet roads, so you can relax and enjoy the scenery as you cruise through the leafy suburbs and bits of countryside. There’s a gentle climb and descent, but nothing too tough—perfect for anyone with a moderate level of cycling fitness.

You’ll finish up in Alsdorf, a town known for its mining history and the family-friendly “Tierpark Alsdorf” (animal park). If you’re up for it, take a little detour to visit the castle or grab a coffee in the center before heading back. It’s a fun mix of city, suburb, and a touch of nature all rolled into one ride!
