7Monschau: A Black Forest Gem
Monschau is a picturesque village located in the Eifel region near the Belgian border, surrounded by rolling hills and dense forests. Known for its well-preserved half-timbered houses, narrow cobblestone streets, and a river that winds its way through the heart of the village, Monschau looks like it was plucked straight from a postcard.
The charm of Monschau lies in its peaceful setting and its historic architecture. Visitors can stroll along the riverbank, explore the village’s many shops, and take in the views from the hilltop Monschau Castle, which overlooks the entire area. The village is also home to one of Germany’s most enchanting Christmas markets, adding a festive touch to its already magical atmosphere in the winter.
