The green metropolis with the Aachen city region and the districts of Düren and Heinsberg offers you exciting opportunities for discovery and contrasts in a small space. Industrial landscapes, extensive heathlands and river valleys with romantic floodplains are waiting to be explored. Like the DNA of the region, the 450 km long "Green Route" long-distance cycle route, awarded 3*** stars by the ADFC in 2012, connects the landscape and its sights, even across borders.
Another highlight is the 170-kilometer-long, nature-oriented river cycle path RurUfer -Radweg, which was redesigned in 2021. Various loops, impressive sights, unique nature and the eventful history of a changing landscape ensure plenty of variety on your tour on the RurUfer cycle path through the High Fens, the Eifel National Park adventure region, the Jülich Börde, the Heinsberg region and the Dutch estuary near Roermond. The regions along the RurUfer cycle path have been subject to constant change over the centuries. At the rest and adventure stations along the route, 19 different contemporary witnesses provide exemplary information about their own history. An experience that is really worth seeing and hearing.
But the green metropolis also has many exciting tour tips to offer away from the two top tours. that the user can discover in the app.
The app is aimed at day and multi-day guests as well as residents of the green metropolis.
A highlight of the app are the tour suggestions for hikers, cyclists, horse riders and cross-country skiers, which are described in detail with details of length, altitude, duration and level of difficulty, images and a textual explanation and are displayed on a zoomable, topographical map. GPS positioning also allows you to orient yourself at any time and check whether you are still on the right path or where the next refreshment stop or the next interesting excursion destination is. All tours and the map can also be conveniently saved offline, so that a mobile network is not necessarily required on the tour!
In addition to its function as a cycling and hiking planner, the app also contains the most interesting excursion destinations in the Aachen-Düren-Heinsberg region, such as sights, viewpoints, rest areas, museums, castles, thermal baths, tourist information, bathing lakes, swimming pools, cinemas, accommodation and much more. These categories will be gradually expanded to include further topics, so that the app is a helpful companion when planning all leisure-oriented excursions.
