Haus Lua Pauline

Highlight • Cafe

Unfortunately, the Lua Pauline has given up, since the wonderful glass house had no permit and did not get it afterwards.
A real shame

From this vantage point, a wide view unfolds towards Aachen, the historic city that has been an important crossroads in this border region for centuries. In the distance, on a clear day, parts of the city are visible nestled in the undulating landscape of forests, valleys, and buildings so typical of the area around Aachen.

This view beautifully illustrates how city and nature merge here. Aachen is situated, as it were, in a hollow surrounded by hills and green spaces, with the transition to Belgium and the Netherlands beyond. From higher or open spots in the landscape, it becomes clear why this location has been both strategic and attractive throughout the centuries.

For hikers, this is a resting place to pause, breathe, and experience the scale of the landscape. The view changes with the seasons: fresh green hues in spring, rich summer colors, warm autumn tones, and a sober, bright atmosphere in winter.

Blue Stone Obelisk (Paulinenwäldchen, Aachen)

Highlight • Monument

In the Paulinenwald you will find the obelisk "Zum blaue Stein". It was erected in 1810 for surveying the Rhineland and is to commemorate the visits of Pauline Princess Borghese, the sister of Napoleon Bonaparte, who often went for a walk in the adjacent forest - so also the name Paulinenwäldchen. From up here you have a wide view of the city of Aachen.

Old Landgraben Hollow Way

Highlight • Trail

A deeply cut ravine runs between Blauer Stein and Wurmtal. The original vegetation with the partially exposed roots goes back to the land ditches that separated the area of the medieval imperial city of Aachen from the surrounding territories. Here in a northerly direction mainly as a demarcation to the territory of the Counts / Dukes of Jülich.
