Pau

Can you hear the calming sound of the water? That's the Pau, a stream weaving its way through Aachen’s old town. Look to your left and you'll see how the water gently flows past the stones. Did you know that the Pau once played a crucial role in Aachen's textile industry? Watermills along its banks powered the machines back in the day. Imagine the rhythmic clatter of mill wheels setting the pace of life here. Today, the Pau is a peaceful retreat, a place to escape the city's hustle and bustle. Take your time and enjoy the fresh air as you walk alongside the stream.
