Fountain tour - Where water splashes

Fountain tour - Where water splashes

Aachen, the city of water!

Today, numerous fountains adorn the city, each of which has its own story to tell. In some places, you can still see the numerous streams that once played an important role in Aachen's development.

Follow in the footsteps of Aachen's "blue gold" on this guided tour and find out why Charlemagne is standing in a "pea bowl", why the doll's fountain is not just an invitation to play and why Aachen, of all places, developed into a fashionable seaside resort in the 17th century.
