Orsbach is a district of Aachen, even if you would never suspect how close it is to the big city if you didn't know that. The small town is so quiet and agricultural. It is surrounded by wide fields and also framed on three sides by the Netherlands. A large part of the hike runs directly along this border

Veronique & Bryan 🇳🇱🥾🌲
April 10, 2026, Route 7: Orsbach

We dusted off our hiking boots again and today, via a dusty path, we ended up in Orsbach where we parked the Koukleum mobile. 🇩🇪 Via country and forest paths, we left Orsbach and, among other things, crossed the border back into the Netherlands. 🇳🇱 In terms of weather, it started with a fresh breeze, but soon the jacket could be taken off and a cautious sun showed itself. 🌞 Because we hadn't hiked for two months, we decided to take it easy. 😅 After just over 6 km, we arrived back satisfied at our Koukleum mobile. 🚘

Today we explored Orsbach and the surrounding area. We took in some beautiful views at the Café Belle Vue, a not so exciting but sunny section of field path, a muddy track with detours and a beautiful meadow path at Selserbeeck.
