I'm not sure, but this highlight marks the beginning/end of the Ruufer cycle path. The Vennbahn line runs above Monschau.

Historic Mustard Mill Monschau

Highlight • Historical Site

If you like good mustard, you absolutely have to stop by the mustard mill! In the Schnabuleum next door you can enjoy various dishes “made with or with” mustard.

Monschau Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Shortly before reaching the old town, there is a top vantage point on the corpse alley. Nicely located, with a wonderful view of the evangelical church and the Red House, among other things.

Historic Center of Monschau

Highlight • Historical Site

A beautiful town in western Germany, well worth a visit. It boasts many half-timbered houses and narrow cobblestone streets. Monschau Castle is also worth a visit.

Grünental Guesthouse and Café

Highlight • Cafe

If you come from Monschau you can really turn right here and you drive on a small but feasible path to Gut Grünental. This saves you the tiring mountain on stage.
