Historic Mustard Mill Monschau

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.

Market Square, Monschau

Highlight • Settlement

Very beautiful old town - with many restaurants around the small market square. Very crowded on weekends. Still a gem in the Eifel that you must have seen.
