Viewpoint CarlAlexanderPark
Photo: Dominik Ketz, StädteRegion Aachen

Vom Bergfoyer aus, das als zentraler Treffpunkt im CarlAlexanderPark u.a. die Gastronomie beherbergt, beginnt der Aufstieg zum in 80 m Höhe gelegenen Bergplateau, einem ruhigen Ort zum Verweilen mit grandiosem Panoramablick über die Euregio Maas-Rhein.

Starting from the Bergfoyer, the central meeting point at the CarlAlexanderPark (where you will also find the restaurant facilities), you begin the climb to the plateau at 80 metres, where a quiet place to abide and enjoy spectacular panoramic views across the entire Meuse-Rhine Euroregion awaits. The climb to the top is in itself spectacular, as you traverse a footbridge between the two buildings of the Bergfoyer, which takes you through the treetops of this old mining area. If you prefer, you can also ascend a beautiful mountain path with rest stops and a vista point on the old Roman road, the Via Belgica.
