Culinary circular hike with birdsong, the sound of water and far-reaching views

On this 12.5 km gourmet hike, you can relax and forget about everyday life. On this pleasure hike, you will experience the colorful twittering of birds in the dense deciduous forest, follow the glistening, rushing Rur and enjoy magnificent views over the hilly Monschau countryside. The tour is signposted throughout.

You start in Monschau with a leisurely breakfast buffet. Your hike then starts at the "Haus im Turm", where one of Monschau's town gates once stood. The path leads you towards Burgau, where you follow the Eifelsteig trail and the ancient cart tracks, which can still be seen in some places in the rock. This path leads you to the Kierberg. There you can not only visit the Marienkapelle chapel, but also admire the center of the historic old town, which stretches out at your feet like a sea of slate roofs. On the other side, you can see the mighty and ancient fortifications of Monschau Castle. Enjoy spectacular views of the old town and the Rosental valley with its dreamy Rur loops and steep cliffs on the slopes.

Afterwards, stroll along natural paths and trails, through colorful forests and meadows with fabulous views over the Rur valley. You will enjoy lunch; in bad weather in a rustic restored historic building, in sunshine on a large outdoor terrace in the middle of the countryside directly on the Rur.

The route then continues along the RurUfer cycle path towards Monschau. Here you hike through an oak forest with jagged, moss-covered rocks, accompanied by the sparkling Rur, to the Rosental valley and the former factory and office buildings. Finally, your hiking tour ends back in the center of Monschau, where you can enjoy a sweet treat in a café.
