Hiking

The Ponttor in Aachen, at times (17th/18th century) also called the bridge gate or gate, is the western of the two northern gates of the former outer Aachen city wall. In addition to the Marschiertor in the south, the Ponttor is one of the two surviving of the eleven city gates of the then free imperial city of Aachen.
