10Monschau

Nestled in the Eifel region near the Belgian border, Monschau is a charming village surrounded by lush hills and dense forests. Known for its half-timbered houses lining the banks of the River Rur, this town’s serene beauty makes it a perfect escape from modern life. The old town is filled with quaint boutiques, cafes, and local artisan shops. Monschau is particularly magical during the winter, when it hosts one of the most picturesque Christmas markets in the country.
