Hop on your bike and let yourself drift, enjoy the boundless natural landscape, immerse yourself in history and let yourself be enchanted - the imperial tour from Aachen to Trier is an enjoyable journey between two lively towns.
A high proportion of railroad tracks quickly makes you forget the smaller climbs and in the evenings, the regional delicacies of the Eifel - from Belgian fries and Monschau mustard to Eifeler Döppekooche - tempt you back to your accommodation.
One last look at the impressive architecture of Aachen Cathedral and then it's time to head out into nature: Off into nature. Borders are easily overcome in Losheimergraben: Are you still in Belgium? Or are you already in Germany? Either way, you are in the Eifel, in the heart of Europe, a region that has imperial stories to tell.
Architectural masterpieces, created by man, original paths, created by nature, unite to form a journey into an eventful past. The river Kyll, which sometimes meanders gently, sometimes flows lively and lively in its riverbed created over the millennia, accompanies cyclists on a large part of the route. The traces of the emperors lead purposefully towards the destination: Trier, the oldest city in Germany, has been reached.
Aachen's historic old town invites visitors to take a stroll. Let yourself be guided through narrow alleys and across historic squares through Aachen's almost 2000-year-old history.
In the German-Belgian nature park Hohes Venn - Eifel, visitors experience a wide variety of landscapes, such as raised bogs, limestone basins and other natural beauties. The diverse Floria is just as impressive as geological features. Characteristic landscape features for the region are forest areas, picturesque lakes and rivers as well as extensive mountain heights.
