Highlights of the tour
As of now, the major fire around Hürtgenwald-Gey is largely under control, but there is now a massive fire burning in theHohe Venn, producing heavy smoke. The situation is very fluid and can change at any moment. Staying in the affected areas is life-threatening and must therefore be strictly avoided—please stay away from these areas and do not block access roads for emergency vehicles. Please check the NINA and KATWARN alert apps and the City of Monschau’s website for the latest information.
