Description

Oak forests - sometimes like this, sometimes like that - 7.7 km hike Starting point: Alter Schlachthof hiking parking lot


On this hike, you will experience in an impressive way how town and nature form a harmonious, seamlessly merging unit in Monschau. This is not least because both have the same "family tree". From the hiking parking lot, the trail first descends into the Rosental valley. Former factory and office buildings shape its character. They bear witness to the time when Monschau was one of the leading cloth-making towns in Germany.

    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 "Johannisfeld" trail shown here is approx. 5 kilometers long and is located in the south-east of Monschau near Rohren and leads over almost flat meadow terrain
