Tips for your fall vacation in the Eifel
A soft rustling underfoot. A golden shimmer on moss-covered paths. And above all this scent - of damp leaves, of earth, of forest.
The forests now take on a spectrum of colors between bright yellow, rich copper red and deep chestnut brown. It is a spectacle of nature that manages without a stage and is therefore so impressive. On the quieter paths, where voices and bicycles could still be heard in summer, you can now get in touch with yourself and the landscape.
The summer bustle gives way to a soothing serenity. Places like Monschau, Bad Münstereifel and Kronenburg show their relaxed side, cafés invite you to enjoy regional cakes, galleries open their doors to curious explorers.
And those who have spent the day outdoors will enjoy stopping off in the evening: In small country inns that serve seasonal cuisine with game dishes and mushrooms from the surrounding forests. Or in charming vacation apartments with sweeping views over autumnal fields.
Wellness in the Eifel means switching off, taking a deep breath and doing something good for yourself. Find the right accommodation for your personal time-out.
