Brief description

Lose yourself in the vastness of the Hohes Venn nature park and enjoy the absolute calm and stillness of these moors. The hedges lining the trail are covered with moss and lichens, the birch trees sway gently in the breeze and the narrow wooden walkways of the Eifelsteig wend their way towards the Belgian border. You can expect amazing views during the next few kilometres of your hike. When you get to the end of the stage in Monschau, it is worth stopping to visit the Roman glassworks, the 'Rotes Haus' museum and the historical mustard mill.

Directions
Experience the rugged charm of the Hohes Venn on the second stage of the Eifelsteig trail, with its hedges lined with moss and lichens. The trail runs directly along the Belgian border, through this marshy, watery region, with its rushes and grasses. There is a sense of calm and stillness about these moors. After resting in Mützenich, continue along the banks of the small Laufenbach to Monschau.

The Eifelsteig trail is continuous and clearly signposted. Each important junction has signposts with details of how long it takes to get to the next part of the trail
