    Loipe Windhaag

    Distance:10.1 km Duration:2:00 h Difficulty:Easy

    As soon as snow falls in the Eifel, the landscape is transformed into a winter paradise and you can go tobogganing, cross-country skiing or downhill skiing! The small ski areas in the Eifel have many advantages for winter sports fans: short journey times, a family atmosphere, cozy huts and great opportunities for tobogganing and cross-country skiing. There are numerous trails around the Monschau region where cross-country skiers can let off steam, for example in Lammersdorf, Eicherscheid, Kalterherberg, Höfen and Rohren. The "Windhaag" trail shown here is approx. 10 kilometers long and is located in the south of Monschau near Kalterherberg close to the German-Belgian border
