Throne of Charlemagne
Historical landmark
👍 Since we visited the Christmas market, which takes place at the cathedral, we of course also visited the cathedral. Unfortunately, work was taking place inside so we were only able to move around to a limited extent.

Bismarck Tower
Historical landmark
👍👍 This honorary cemetery in Aachen surprised us very much, I have never seen a cemetery as a beautiful park landscape for hiking. The forest cemetery is much more than just a place to mourn.

Aachener Akropolis, Lousberg
Historical landmark
👍 Apparently an ancient ruin from Roman times. Very nicely located on the mountain. You should be good on foot. However, there is no on-site description or explanation of what exactly it is. One can only assume so. Nevertheless, it is worth coming here

The estate dates back to an infirmary from the 8th century. Gut Melaten was first mentioned in a document in 1230. It served as a quarantine station...
