ベスヴァイラーのバイクパーク・トップ20

The Wilhelminaberg staircase leads you upward in a long line, with 508 steps that make the height tangible. Each step takes you further away from the valley and closer to the open landscape at the top of the mountain. During the climb, you'll feel the effort, but you'll be rewarded time and again with moments of rest and views that slowly unfold. An iconic route where movement, silence, and panorama converge.

The bridge provides access to the steps of Wilhelminaberg and marks the beginning of the climb. From here, the path changes: away from the flat, towards the higher elevations, with increasingly better views as you follow the steps to the top.

Nice challenge, climbing the 508 steps of the staircase. It looks impressive from below!

Because it is beautiful here and there are many things to discover, especially for children!

Unfortunately the small bike park is gone. The parking lot was expanded and the bike park was unfortunately removed. The sign pointing to the trails in the area is still there, but the rest is gone. I don't know the plans, maybe it will also be created at, that's the status as of March 23, 2024.

The site of today's Carl-Alexander Park in Baesweiler was part of the Carl-Alexander pit, a hard coal mine in Baesweiler and belonged to the Aachen hard coal district. Coal mining stopped in 1975 and the Carl Alexander Park was created here as part of the EuRegionale 2008. The most important design elements of the park are: a landscape artery connecting the park with Beeckfliess and Wurmtal, a mountain foyer with restaurants, the ascent to the heap with a suspension footbridge and suspension bridge, the mountain plateau with a viewing platform and a mountain park at the foot of the heap. The CAP also includes a technology and commercial area and a youth camp with play and sports facilities.

Going down stairs is mega!!

The park at the Carl-Alexander-Halde is equipped with lots of play equipment and seating. With its clearings, groves, vantage points and rest areas, the park invites you to linger, walk, cycle and discover. From the red mountain foyer you can hike over a 25-meter-long suspension bridge, the Schwebesteg and the Himmelsstiege to the Halde or you can take the gravel path to the summit. The view from the top is magnificent!
