The route runs slightly downhill in the direction of Jülich

Translated by Google •

Tip by

11.5 km

Where once trains fully loaded with coal from the former mining sites of the Aachen region traveled, cyclists can now comfortably and without inclines cycle from the imperial city of Aachen to Jülich on the 32-kilometer-long railway cycle path.

Rur River near Jülich

Highlight • River

There is currently a lot of construction going on along the RUR in Jülich. Cycle traffic is therefore being diverted onto the busy road several times.

Together with friends we are on the road for two days with four adults and four children with the bikes. We bridged the heavy downpour (1 1/2 hours) with a late lunch break. Tomorrow we will go back (probably the same way).
