The traces of the former French regency in the western Rhineland come alive at the obelisk "Zum Blauen Stein". The White Path leads from the highway on light gravel between white flowering hedges and tall trees in the summer to the obelisk.
The obelisk erected in 1810 to survey the Rhineland reminds of several stays of the sister of Napoleon Bonaparte, Pauline princess Borghese, in the Trappist monastery Mont Sion in Bergerbusch between 1809 and 1811. Since she often liked to linger in the adjacent forest with tall beech and oak trees, he received it later the name Paulinen-Wäldchen.

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.
