Monschau means : Mont and joye
Close to the Netherlands and Germany - so a good tip for a one day tripper !
This city is famous for the "trout farms !!" |
|  | Monschau - a romantic place The holiday region "Eifel" - a manifold landscape of low mountains with isolated forests, volcanoes that have become extinct, extensive hill countries and picturesque valleys - is situated in the triangle where three countries meet, that is Germany, Belgium and Luxemburg.
Look at the fisherman in front.
Monschau indeed has to offer a very good fish menu (trout !!) |

Luc, fantastic little page with brilliant photos of this German gem, which I haven't visited yet. I especially like your photo of the half timbered houses. | Kuznetsov_Sergey Thu Aug 14, 2008 19:55 UTC
