    Hiking

    The Eifel view "Heckenland" is located at an altitude of about 520 meters above sea level and provides insights into the "Monschau Heckenland", a centuries-old, unique cultural landscape in Europe.
    It is integrated in the circular hiking trail "Höfener Heckenweg".
    Typical of the landscape are the meter high house hedges within the settlements and a distinctive hallway system that runs through fields and meadows.
    The change between artfully pulled hedges, rows of bushes, single trees and agriculturally used areas makes the charm of this landscape.

    Hiking

    "Eifel views" are particularly beautiful vantage points in the Eifel and an initiative of the German-Belgian Nature Park and Rureifel-Tourismus e.V.
    The Eifel view "Heckenland" offers the visitor, among other things, a view of the "Steling" approx. 4 kilometers away, the highest point in the Aachen city region at 659 meters above sea level.
