Hiking

Meter-high beech hedges await you in Höfen, a district of Monschau. The hedges serve as a windbreak and are a centuries-old tradition. Pretty impressive how tall and dense beech trees can grow when pruned appropriately.

The place Höfen with its beech hedges and the many pastures and meadows around the village invite you to great walks.

The hedge path and some thatched roof houses provide great motifs.
