Monschau & the Eifel Hills for Solo Travellers
Perched along the eastern edge of Germany, plunging valleys, idyllic lakes and wooded hills come together to create the perfect holiday landscape. From the rolling hills of the Eifel area to the vineyard-dotted slopes of the Ahr Valley, during our exquisite tour, we pass through natural beauty en route to the old town of Ahrweiler where you might choose to enjoy a tipple, or two, during a visit to a local wine cellar. We see the picture-postcard town Monschau, where you can walk the cobbled streets and explore the quaint markets as well as having the opportunity to explore the delightful spa city of Aachen on this scenic tour dedicated to the single traveller.

Optional Excursions
Our optional excursions are a great addition to enhance your holiday experience and are highly recommended.
The optional excursions will be available to book during your tour.
Prices are per person and are subject to change. Payment will be in Euros (cash payments only).
Join our included excursion as we combine two scenic regions: the forested Eifel Hills, and the pretty Ahr Valley, with its sleepy wine-growing villages.
The Eifel region was once a volcanic area, though maybe not overly obvious, the circular crater lakes offer a striking tell-tale sign of the hot-tempered beginnings of this stunning area.
We visit the historic and romantic spa town of Bad Münstereifel, with its half-timbered houses, narrow alleyways and charming town centre, before continuing into the Ahr Valley.
The vineyards dotted on the slopes of the Ahr provide the grapes for some of the best German red wines.
We also visit the old town of Ahrweiler, which still retains its medieval gates and fortifications.

Half-timbered façades overlook twisting streets, cobbled walkways and quaint market squares make Monschau one of Germany’s most picturesque towns.
Visit the Rotes Haus (Red House), built in 1760 for the draper Johann Heinrich Scheibler, now open as a museum.
A local speciality to try whilst in town is the famous Monschau Mustard, if you dare! The mustard mill sells the fiery condiment in many flavours, including honey, green pepper and even Riesling!

This was a good trip except for a visit to the Eifel Visitor Centre which I found very disturbing. I am not interested in the Socialist history of Germany and the Wildness Exhibition seemed to be aimed more to school children. There were a lot of disused and abandoned buildings which indicated the previous use of the site. In their brochure it states "While Vogelsang was a site where contempt for humanity was lived out in practice." There was a very unpleasant and strong atmosphere and no sign of any birds or birdsong. This experience spoilt a good holiday for me.

A trip to a Beautiful part of Germany, small picturesque towns and villages. Monschau is stunning and well worth a decent time here exploring( I suggest 3.5 hours). Aachen is a beautiful old town with lovely Churches and a Cathedral, theatre, lunchtime market, old spa and lots of independent shops plus Supermarkets AND C/A and WOOLWORTHS..Nice hotel right by the lake( nice to walk around ). Not much open in the immediate area until April.
