Tips
Here, at the highest point of the city forest, there was once a lookout tower. The Pelzerturm, named after the former mayor Ludwig Pelzer, was blown up by American troops in 1944. Today there are only a few pieces of rock left lying around. What a shame actually! Must have been a nice observation tower.

The Pelzerturm has an interesting history, which is described on the information board. It's a shame he no longer exists.

A photo shows the view you would have if the tower were still standing today. Aachen Cathedral is at the marked location.
