Top 3 City Sights in Aachen, Aachen, Germany
I was born and raised in Aachen but left my hometown 30 years ago. However, my family still lives in Aachen, so I am regularly drawn back.
Aachen is located in the very west of Germany, on the border with Belgium and the Netherlands. This makes it the perfect starting point for excursions to these countries and the聽鈥淗ohes Venn鈥� National Park, located in the border area between Germany and Belgium.
Aachen is a student city with two large universities and a student population of more than 50,000 students. Interestingly, this figure makes up almost 20 per cent of the total population in this city.
This historical city is also home to the legendary and patent-protected聽Aachener Printen, developed in the early 1800s and today still produced and exported from聽Aachen. Printen聽is a type of gingerbread (Lebkuchen) that is richly spiced with a caramel flavour and has a hard cookie-like texture. These delicious cookies contain a unique combination of flour, sugar molasses, honey, cinnamon, anise, cloves, cardamom, coriander, turmeric, dried oranges, and lemons. Aachen鈥檚 bakers are estimated to produce around 4 500 tons of Printen annually. You can read more about the authentic Aachener Printen by clicking here. ......
