Aachen!

Or the last stop in our holidays before i got my first German job :D.
We visited Aachen after the Schwarzwald trip, to finally visit a friend who lives there and feel again like we could cross the border to the Netherlands and Belgium anythime!… if there was no corona and there was more time.

Here we were for only 2 days but still, Aachen is great. Driving in Aachen not so… is very confusing. We were mostly in the old town, cause we have been told a lot that Aachens cathedral is the prettiest of Germany

I still like Freiburgs cathedral the most but Aachen’s is HUGE. Like, i had to step reaaaally far away for the picture above. We got scolded by Micha’s mom cause we were not inside and apparently we were missing it BIG TIME, so if you also go to Aachen -to visit Eliah as we did- go inside the cathedral!

Ánd as the foodies we are we got Aachen’s most popular thing: Printen!

They look like cookies, in the shape and size of cookies. But is more like bread. Have you seen this popular heart-shaped ginger bread cookies with cheese messages in the german christmas markets? well, those are also printen! but this ones we got can be found at any time of the year in lots of combinations! white, milk or dark chocolate, with nuts, with fruits… big or tiny, there is for everyone a printen. I love printen ♥

There is probably a lot more that we could not see, so we will be probably visiting again in the future. People say that the christmas market of Aachen is awesome so we will keep you updated 🙂
