Time tunnel Tour Herzogenrath-Alsdorf

On this hike from Herzogenrath to Alsdorf you embark on a journey through time, as you hike from the Middle Ages through the present to the future. From the train station you first go to the center of Herzogenrath, where Rode Castle and the remains of the city wall, witnesses from the Middle Ages await you. Then you dive into the green tunnel of the nature-protected Broichbachtal. Past the Herzogenrather Weiher you reach the stream with its beautiful alluvial forests and idyllic rest areas.

When you leave the Broichbach valley, the Noppenberg heap rises in front of you and then you cross the mining settlement of Zopp - both witnesses of the former mining age that shaped this region so strongly in the last century. The ascent to the heap is rewarded with a magnificent panorama. In the Energeticon industrial monument, where coal used to be stored and where you can now find the tourist information and a museum, you can take a look at the energy generation of the future. Walk past the Annapark to the Alsdorf-Annapark train station, where your tour ends.
