Off the beaten path through Aachen: Reach your destination in style

If you are cycling in Aachen, you can often leave the noisy main roads to one side. There are many quiet paths away from the major traffic flows, on which you can also cleverly avoid annoying inclines.

"On slow routes through Aachen" is part of the city of Aachen's"FahrRad in Aachen" campaign, which encourages cyclists to cycle through the city away from the main roads. Quiet routes away from car traffic were presented, making it possible to explore Aachen by bike in a relaxed yet interesting way. This is particularly important for insecure cyclists who are not (yet) confident enough to cycle in Aachen.
