✔7 days ✔approx. 235 km ✔from Aachen to Trier ✔packed lunch.


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.
