15 - Altstadtrundgang Monschau

Circular hike - 15.3 km

This cycle tour over the ridges of the Eifel and along the Urft and Rur lakes combines the advantages of the two stage variants 3a and 3b of the Eifel High Route.

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 3.2-kilometre-long "Wiesenloipe" trail shown here is located in the south-east of Monschau near Rohren and leads across almost flat meadow terrain

A varied panoramic trail that combines history and nature around Mausbach. The route leads past former campsites, striking viewpoints, historic springs and relics such as the remains of the Westwall. The traditional Roman road and beautiful views also make this hike particularly varied and exciting.

Water is the source of all life - it shapes landscapes, shapes cultures and continues to cast its spell over us. On this time loop through the Rureifel region, where water has not only shaped nature, but also history and culture, you will encounter the element in all its facets: sometimes calming and healing, sometimes powerful and creative.
