Hiking

A must for a hiking holiday in Monschau. Nice monastery to which many great hiking trails lead.

Idyllic monastery pond. Unfortunately, access is forbidden.

After Reichenstein had not been used as a monastery for more than 200 years, that changed in 2017. After extensive renovation work, the first five monks from the French mother monastery Notre Dame de Bellaigue moved to the Eifel on October 14, 2017. Source: Aachener Zeitung.
