The city of Aachen is special in many ways. Located on the crossroad of Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium, Aachen is Germany’s westernmost city that is brimming with diversity. In Aachen, you will find a great mix of history as you explore the streets of the beautiful old town, combined with the city’s flair as a modern university town. With more than 45,000 students, RWTH Aachen University is the largest university for technical courses in Germany. But, not only the city centre is worth visiting, Aachen’s surrounding countryside on the edge of the Eifel is beautiful too. Discovering this area on your bicycle is perfect. With the Aachen Summer of Cycling, the city is celebrating and promoting its well-developed network of routes. Every year since 1995, the city signposts a different themed circular route which is ideal for families and novice cyclists. In this Collection, we show you five of the most beautiful and exciting Aachen Summer of Cycling Tours.
