Riding

There are numerous bridleways in the Aachen Forest, which are marked with a large bridleway sign. Riders receive an informative riding trail map with the riding sign. The municipal forestry office asks that you only ride with clearly visible riding signs and on the marked bridleways and that you follow the usual safety advice (helmet, insurance cover, obstacle courses at your own risk).

There are two bridleway signs in the Aachen Forest that occur again and again:

• Bridle path: This path is reserved exclusively for horse riders. Pedestrians and cyclists are not allowed to use it. It is too dangerous for them to use bridleways.
• Bridleway: The small sign indicates a bridleway and is often attached to trees. A bridleway is a narrow bridleway that runs parallel to a normal hiking and driving trail.

Please inform the municipal forestry office if you discover any defects or sources of danger on bridle paths or verges!

Applying for riding license plates and riding stickers

You can conveniently apply for riding license plates and riding stickers at the municipal forestry office.

This is how it works:

• On site: Visit us at the forestry office (Monschauer Straße 6) to fill out the applications directly on site. You can then take the license plates and stickers with you.
• From home: Alternatively, you can fill out the applications from the comfort of your own home and send them to us by post or as a PDF by e-mail. Once your application has been processed, we will send you the license plates and stickers by post.

Please use the forms provided for this purpose.

Important: automatic renewal

The riding fee is automatically debited each year by direct debit, unless you cancel your subscription. You will automatically receive your new stickers by post at the beginning of the year.
