MONSCHAU, Germany - Old Town Walking Tour - 4K HDR
Watch on YouTube
Let's discover Monschau - a picturesque town tucked into a steep river valley in western Germany's Eifel mountains.
Located close to the Belgian border and easily accessible by bus from Aachen, Monschau looks like a living postcard: Centuries-old half-timbered houses with their iconic wooden beams line its winding cobblestone lanes. Miraculously spared from the destruction of the world wars, the town is well-preserved and surrounded by the dense, forested slopes of the Rur Valley.
Today, we will explore it all: wandering through the historic Old Town, climbing up to the 13th-century castle that overlooks the rooftops, and discovering the hidden corners of this charming day-trip destination on foot.
