7Monschau
Nestled in the Eifel Mountains near the Belgian border, Monschau is one of Germany’s most romantic medieval towns, surrounded by lush forests and a scenic river. The town’s timber-framed houses, crisscrossed by the narrow, winding Rur River, create a dreamy atmosphere, especially in winter when the town is blanketed in snow.
Monschau’s winding streets are perfect for a romantic stroll, and the town’s picturesque location in the valley adds to its charm. The Monschau Castle, with its impressive ruins, offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. In the winter, Monschau’s Christmas market is a must-visit, with its festive lights and cozy, romantic ambiance.
