Eschweiler
Town on the river Inde in the Aachen district of North Rhine-Westphalia, Eschweiler has a walkable centre with cafés and historic churches, and is known locally as a stronghold of Carnival celebrations. The surrounding area holds numerous castles and manor houses, and the Inde floodplains and Blausteinsee lake add outdoor appeal. Mining and open-cast extraction shaped the town from Celtic times through the 20th century, and the wider region is ringed by UNESCO World Heritage sites.
