When in Monschau, it's definitely worth taking the panoramic trail above the town. From there, you'll enjoy beautiful views of Monschau and the castle above.

These views were taken from the panoramic trail on the Rahmenberg, near the Haller ruins.

Along the panorama path there are continuously impressive views of the old town of Monschau in the Rur Valley and across to the castle, which is now used as a youth hostel. The curved baroque spire of the Evangelical City Church particularly protrudes from the streets of the old town.

Hiking

The town center has some very old half-timbered houses.
Well attended by tourists.
