    In the Paulinenwald you will find the obelisk "Zum blaue Stein". It was erected in 1810 for surveying the Rhineland and is to commemorate the visits of Pauline Princess Borghese, the sister of Napoleon Bonaparte, who often went for a walk in the adjacent forest - so also the name Paulinenwäldchen. From up here you have a wide view of the city of Aachen.

        Great view of Aachen and a parking lot around the corner.

          The blue stone is nice, but there are even more beautiful views of Aachen. The best place is probably the turret on the Lousberg. But also on my tour around Aachen you always have beautiful viewpoints. I photographed some for those who are interested.
