Such a pretty place - Monschau
Such a pretty place

with tourists crawling all over it. Best entertainment is to find a place on a pavement terrace, order a drink and watch all the Japanese go wild with their cameras.
It has been a tourist highlight since the 18th century.
I noted that quite a few shops were not rented out and empty. I talked to a landlady about this. She indeed confirmed saying that a lot of young people moved out, not wanting to continue the business of their parents.
Shops are a good indication of the development of a place. I'll be curious to see what's happening in a few years from now and if Monschau can keep up its attraction to visitors.
