Aachen Urban Region: Hotels and Accommodation
Accommodation in Aachen
The Aachen Urban Region combines former mining spoil heap landscapes in the north and east with the Eifel mountain range in the south; the Netherlands and Belgium border the region to the west. This cross-border travel environment is also reflected in the cycling opportunities: these include the former Vennbahn railway line as well as the RurUfer cycling path along the Rur from the High Fens to Roermond, and cycle paths also lead towards Luxembourg.
