The route of the Aachen industrial railway leads into the area surrounding the fortified city of Jülich, which is characterized by opencast lignite mining. Since October 2019, the entire route of the railway line, which was originally built in the 1980s, has been asphalted.

This section of the Bahntrassenweg lies between Euchen and Ofden. It runs slightly above the old railway line and, like most of the railway line, is well paved.
