Sonnenfinsternis auf dem Haarberg
Hin- und Rückfahrt aus der Aachener Innenstadt zum Haarberg für den perfekten Blick auf die Abendsonne am Horizont während der partiellen Sonnenfinsternis (max. 89% bedeckt) am 12.08.2026.
Wohl auch weil dieser Ort am selben Tag in der Aachener Zeitung für die Sonnenfinsternis empfohlen wurde, waren wir hier nicht die einzigen.…

Rundtour Aachen-Zentrum - Wurm - Haarbach - Nirm - Monte Knopp - Brand - Vennbahn
Seit Anfang April war ich nicht mehr bei der Haarbachtalbrücke gewesen, um zu sehen, ob der damals noch gesperrte Fuß- und Radweg unter der Autobahnbrücke hindurch endlich wieder frei ist.
Heute also mal wieder eine Tour dorthin. Und tatsächlich: Nicht nur ist dieser Weg entlang des Haarbachs wiederhergestellt und befahrbar.…

Zum Abschluss leckeres Eis im Oecher Eis-Treff am Frankenberger Park.

Nice tour and a little tip, for those who need a break about halfway, there are very nice benches in Nirm for sunbathing. Best regards

Heute schönes sonniges Wetter, und es sah auch warm aus. Daher habe ich eine Tour geplant, die einerseits ein paar schöne Aussichten bietet, andererseits aber auch mal im schattigen Wald verläuft. Am Ende war es doch kühler als gedacht, und wir haben die meiste Zeit unsere Jacken getragen.

The city of Aachen reacted quickly to my defect report entry, publishing and answering it today:
maengelmelder.aachen.de/bms/2629445
"Work is currently underway to restore the surface of the intermediate connection. The work will continue until 03.04.2026. After that, it will be open again."

Panoramatour rund um die Haarbachtalbrücke: Aachen Zentrum - Eilendorf - Monte Knopp - Haarberg - Haarener Gracht - Wurm
Das heutige Wetter war zwar ziemlich kalt, aber so schön sonnig, dass es mich zu einer kurzen Fahrradtour hinauszog. Die Länge war gerade richtig - am Ende, war es uns beiden schon ziemlich kalt an Zehen und Fingern.
Beim strahlenden Sonnenschein hatte ich mir eine herrliche Aussicht von den Anhöhen…

Beautiful route! Didn't your handlebars freeze to your feet? Is it possible to drive under the bridge again? Cheers!

Heute war nicht viel Zeit. Und das Wetter war auch teilweise regnerisch gewesen und nicht sicher, ob es trocken bleibt. Daher habe ich eine Tour geplant, die kaum im schattigen Wald, sondern mehr auf Anhöhen mit freiem Himmel verlief und hauptsächlich asphaltierte oder gut befestigte Wege benutzte.
Vom Aachener Zentrum…

We took advantage of the fantastic weather to once again ride the longer tour "Panoramic Trails around Aachen," originally planned by TechnoViel for 2022: komoot.com/tour/907289544
Here again, with access from Aachen city center and a few minor deviations.
The entire time in the sun would have been too

The beautiful Shrove Monday weather lured us away from the carnival hustle and bustle in the city center on a round trip to the "Würselen Aachen Research Airport" (Merzbrück).
On the way we passed nice places like the Aachen city garden at the Eurogress, the painted gas balloons at the Prager Ring (img.aachener-zeitung.de/public/lokales/q97qpz-file7ziqojm7z7la6t8e1o7p/alternates/WIDTH_1440/file7ziqojm7z7la6t8e1o7p

Given the icy cold winter weather, today we only went on a very short bike ride: once again to the Haarbachtal bridge construction site to follow the progress there, but this time not via Eilendorf and Verlautenheide, but more directly via Hüls.
Wrapped up warm with gloves, a hat and a scarf over our

This time a bike tour with two of my children. Since the weather was dry today, but it had rained a lot in the last few days, we avoided muddy forest paths and rode a lot of asphalted bike paths, even if they led along roads.
The detour near Oud Lemiers along the Hermansbeek was probably the last time

Today I repeated the tour from April 16, 2023 with my son, with a few adjustments: komoot.com/tour/1083356403
In addition to reversing direction, we took the longer, paved path around the slag heap to climb up the Adolf mine dump in Merkstein. But this was also so steep in places that we had to push for

This time a bike ride with two children. My daughter wanted to escape the city center on Shrove Monday and largely planned this tour herself. We set off when the carnival procession had not yet arrived at our home, but we had to fight our way through the crowd. And on the way back the train was still

There was little time today, but we had to take advantage of the bright sunny weather.
In sunshine and moderate wind we went over the Schneeberg and the Orsbacher Höhe. Then on to the Avantis commercial area, where in such weather the sun sparkles in the Forum's water basins. We took a quick look at the

Once again I took the opportunity to ride the Belgian cycle path RAVeL Ligne 39 from Aachen via the three-country point and to enjoy the Göhltal. Especially when the weather is not completely dry, I think it's a nice tour, mostly well-developed paved bike paths, only a few slightly muddy spots. And the

Small family tour with borrowed bikes through a part of Copenhagen: Frederiksstad and past the Little Mermaid.
The route is based on the suggestion of a travel guide, but a number of routes were not permitted for bicycles and we had to push or make a detour.
Cycling in Copenhagen is impressive. Most of

These days I took a closer look at the bridge piers, they are nice to look at. Now, only a priority cycle route from the bridge to the Wurm needs to be created in Haaren, that would be great. (A nice crossing over Jülicher Str. there.)
