A Weekend Getaway in Monschau, Germany, Monschau, Germany

If you鈥檙e up for beautiful hikes, exploring castles and walking along cobblestone streets as if you landed yourself into some German fairytale鈥� Monschau will be your perfect聽weekend escape.

Monschau, Germany is located in North Rhine-Westphalia in the hills of Northern Eifel. The little town is covered with romantic half-timbered houses, narrow alleys and the beautiful River Rur running through the center, much of which hasn鈥檛 been changed for over 300 years. You can take a short 10-minute hike up to the castle for a picture perfect panoramic view, or you can explore the little alleyways and timbered houses up close.

The drive from D眉sseldorf to Monschau shouldn鈥檛 take you more than an hour and a half (approximately 110 km). If you鈥檙e up for it, you could even make it a day trip to explore the old town and hike a few hours before the sunset.

While it is possible to get there by train, it will take you a few hours, so I would suggest to check out聽all other possible options聽to get to Monschau. Try and check out聽BlaBlaCar聽or hop on聽billiger-mietwagen.de聽and rent a car for the聽weekend聽(that鈥檚 what I did). ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
