Eifel-Blick "Grünenthal" in Monschau-Imgenbroich

Monschau

Open today

The Eifel viewpoint "Grünenthal" near Monschau-Imgenbroich, at an altitude of 490 meters above sea level, offers a view over the valley of the upper Rur before it flows into the Rur reservoir.

Until the 1940s, several mills were still in operation here on the Rur and its tributaries. Farmers from the surrounding area were able to have their grain ground in the Belgenbach mill until the 1920s. After that, the mill served as a youth center for the Catholic Church. Today it has been lovingly renovated and is privately owned.

The village of Hammer, whose origins go back to an ironworks called Hermeshammer in the Rur valley, is also very close by. Later, there was also a corn mill in Hammer called Hammermühle.

You can reach Monschau-Imgenbroich via the B 258 coming from Monschau or via the B 399 coming from Simmerath.
Leave Monschau-Imgenbroich in the direction of Widdau. There is a parking lot at the end of the town.
