Monschau Hidden Gem Germany - walking tour & highlights

Monschau is one of those true Hidden Gems. Located in the West of Germany, near the Belgian and Dutch borders. It has all the things for a quintessential German town: a castle on a hill, half-timbered houses hugging the cobblestone streets and squares. A little brook running right through it with tiny waterfalls. And the surrounding area is the Eifel National Park: hills and rivers, hiking and mountainbike trails, high fens and stunning views. Monschau is magical in Winter, stunning in the other seasons of North West Europe. A wonderful home base to breathe in this beautiful village and explore the surrounding area. Monschau is home to the 150 year old Felsenkeller brewery, has excellent restaurants with German and international dishes. The Red House transports you back what it was like living as a wealthy family from the 18th century. And the 13th century castle overlooking the town from a hill is a must visit. From Monschau you can explore the Eifel in Germany, or the Hautes Fagnes right across the border in Belgium. Nearby tourist destinations include: 1) Aachen: with its famous Byzantine style Cathedral and the Throne and bones of Charlemagne, the first emperor of the Holy Roman Empire 2) Maastricht: Dutch city of art, architecture and good food 3) Trier: a truly magnificent city to visit. Once one of four capitals of Rome with stunning Roman ruins in the city. Medieval town square from a picture book and the famous Cathedral with ancient Christian treasures 4) Eltz Castle: one of the more famous castles of Germany 5) Trips along the Mossel and Rhine river Chapters 00:00 Monschau Highlights 01:50 Walking Tour Monschau 06:28 Gerberplatz 09:44 Center 10:54 Inside church 14:49 Markt 17:04 Roer 19:42 Rurstrasse 23:03 Center 26:49 Red House 28:26 To the Castle 29:59 Castle 41:28 Back to town Hashtags #Monschau #Deutschland #Germany #Allemagne #Duitsland #Germania #Travel #VisitGermany #Tourism #TouristDestination #Wanderlust #RoamThePlanet #Explore #Tourist #RoadTrip #Eifel #EifelNationalPark #Hike #Hiking #Mountainbike #Trail #Wanderlust #Wonderjourneys #Aachen #Charlemagne #HRE #RomanEmpire #HolyRomanEmpire #Maastricht #Trier #Rome #Eltz #BurgEltz #EltzCastle #Belgium #Maastricht #Cochem #Moselle #Rhine #Rein #Rhein
