Stolberg 🇩🇪

Stolberg is a town in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It has a long history as an industrial town and belongs to the district Aachen and the lower district court of Eschweiler.

The story

I went to Stolberg on a beautiful sunny day, riding my electric scooter, eager to see some tanks and Burg Stolberg. Unfortunately, the tanks were in muddy, swampy terrain, so I only ended up exploring Burg Stolberg and visiting the Zinkhütter Hof museum. Despite that, it turned out to be a successful and enjoyable day!
