Description
Monschau is a small town in the Eifel region of western Germany, located in the Aachen district of North Rhine-Westphalia close to the Netherlands and even closer to Belgium, which is just a stone's throw away...The town is located in the hills of the North Eifel, within the Hohes Venn – Eifel Nature Park in the narrow valley of the Rur river. The historic town center has many preserved half-timbered houses and narrow streets have remained nearly unchanged for 300 years, making the town a popular tourist attraction nowadays. This image was taken from Monschau castle, which dates back to the 13th century.
Monschau, which is allowed to call itself health resort since 1996, attracts many visitors with its picturesque views especially in summer. The medieval town is traversed by the river Rur and is dominated by slate paneled and Tudor style houses with cafes, restaurants, craft and souvenir shops.
