Würselen–Aachen Cycle Expressway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Well laid out cycle expressway which can now be used as far as Aachen on the Green Way. It partly runs on an old railway line. It is very nice to drive in the Würselener Stadtgarten. It is the former railway line from Jülich to Aachen.

Aachener Industriebahn Rail Trail

Highlight • Cycleway

The route of the Aachen industrial railway leads into the area surrounding the fortified city of Jülich, which is characterized by opencast lignite mining. Since October 2019, the entire route of the railway line, which was originally built in the 1980s, has been asphalted.

Old railway underpass on the Aachen–Jülich rail trail

Highlight • Bridge

The old railway underpass is located on the former Aachen - Jülich railway line.

If you leave the railway line you come from here to Ofden, a district of Alsdorf.

Aachen–Jülich Rail Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Where once trains fully loaded with coal from the former mining sites of the Aachen region traveled, cyclists can now comfortably and without inclines cycle from the imperial city of Aachen to Jülich on the 32-kilometer-long railway cycle path.
