We love this quiet, green district of Aachen, because we are very quickly in the old city of Aachen and in the countryside from here. A very small nature reserve with a small lake and many wild birds is located directly behind our (often) sunny garden.

It is only a few meters to the next bus stop. It is said that more horses live here than people - which is definitely not true ;-). But horse lovers will come to one of the 3 riding stables to enjoy their hobby. From here it is a 10 min drive to the Soers, where the World Equestrian Festival takes place every year - in 2015 the European Championship will take place as well. A folk festival with high level and a lot of program - not only for horse lovers. Walkers, hikers, cyclists, joggers, etc. will find many paths right on the doorstep with wide views over the city, into the Netherlands and as far as Belgium or the Eifel.

A few suggestions: - Aachen's old town and the student quarter, with numerous street cafes and restaurants between Ponttor and cathedral, at the market and the court - Due to its location on the border to Belgium and the Netherlands, you will quickly find very different cultures and landscapes on all 3 sides of the border triangle. - Emperor Charlemagne is present everywhere in Aachen and the Centre Charlemagne is worth a visit.
