Nature in Aachen

Aachen reveals a surprisingly green and watery side beyond its city centre. The Elisengarten and Stadtgarten offer calm open spaces within the urban fabric, while the viewpoint at Preusweg opens up broad views across the surrounding hills. The Wurm river winds through the area and rewards leisurely walks along its banks. The Aachener Tierpark Euregiozoo combines wildlife with open landscape, and the Belvedere water tower marks one of the city's wooded rises. Further afield, the border tripoint where Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands meet, the Friedenskapelle and the Hubertuskapelle each sit quietly in the rolling countryside nearby.
