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.

Old Sawmill

Highlight • Structure

Right next to the historic sawmill, a covered rest area and a viewing kiln invite you to linger. The latter forms the centerpiece of the annual kiln festival on the Saturday after Pentecost.

At the confluence of the Kluckbach and Rur is this bridge. Immediately a massive shelter.
Only a few meters away, a bridge bridges the Kluckbach and leads here on the Eifelsteig.

Forest trail along the Rur

Highlight • Trail

The bike path on the Rur from Monschau to the Rursee is a bit muddy in rainy weather, but it is beautiful. Often difficult to drive on with normal bikes.
