Reinartzhof Ruins and Memorial Chapel

Highlight (Segment) • Historical Site

By the 20th century, a hermitage (13th century) on the old pilgrimage route between Aachen and Trier had become a small settlement of 3 farms and 6 families, the Reinartzhof. Located in the middle of the lonely Venn, the settlement was largely self-sufficient, without electricity or tap water.

Hohes Venn Moorland

Highlight • Natural

A hike into the High Fens is worthwhile at any time of year. It's incredible how the sparse vegetation of the raised moor changes within just a few weeks.

Charlemagne's Bed

Highlight • Natural Monument

According to legend, Emperor Charlemagne got lost in the High Fens on a hunting trip from his nearby residence in Aachen and was forced to spend the night on this large quartzite rock.
When he then refused the hat offered to him by his servant with the words "No hat", this is said to have led to the name of the neighboring town.

As I said - this is a legend...

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.
