Maps and trails
Baesweiler is located in the west of Germany and is surrounded by picturesque forests and rivers. The town has a rich history with many historic buildings such as the 14th century Zweibrüggen Castle or the 12th century Randerath Castle.

The town offers many tourist attractions such as the Museum of European Arts and Crafts or the Alsdorfer Weiher Zoo. If you are interested in culture, you should definitely visit the annual jazz festival or enjoy a performance at the theatre on Wilhelmstraße.

In terms of culinary delights, you can look forward to regional specialities such as Printen (a type of gingerbread) or Aachener Sauerbraten (a traditional dish of marinated meat). Also be sure to try the local beer style "Kölsch".

When it comes to outdoor activities, hiking enthusiasts will find many beautiful routes through the surrounding forests as well as cycling tours along the Vennbahn cycle path - a former railway line between Belgium and Germany. In winter, you can even go skiing at the nearby SnowWorld Landgraaf ski slope.

If it rains, you can visit the indoor swimming pool or take a trip to the nearby city of Aachen and visit the cathedral and the town hall.

Baesweiler is worth a trip at any time of year. In spring, cherry trees blossom everywhere and in summer there are many festivals and outdoor events. Autumn offers breathtaking landscapes with colourful foliage and winter attracts with cosy Christmas markets.

Visit Baesweiler - a hidden gem in the StädteRegion Aachen!

    Sehr netter, kurzweiliger Weg. Auch für Kinder ab ca. 5 Jahren geeignet, wegen vieler Stufen.

    Sehr schöne Runde ! Leider ist die wegführung sehr chaotisch was das Fahrerlebnis leider etwas trübt wenn man sich mit Knopf im Ohr navigieren lässt. Kann aber auch an Outdooractiv liegen ;) Mir hat die Runde gefallen und jetzt wo ich sie kenne werde ich sie etwas modifizieren und mit der Familie in angriff nehmen.
