Hiking

Monschau is one of the most picturesque towns we've visited. The half-timbered houses, narrow cobblestone streets, and the picturesque Rur River winding through the town create a fairytale feel. The old town is easily accessible on foot and offers numerous photo opportunities.

You can also watch our YouTube video to learn more about the area.
