The most beautiful places
Historic old towns and half-timbered idylls
Between cobblestones, well-preserved town walls, lovingly restored half-timbered houses and historic squares, you are invited to experience the special atmosphere of these places. Towns such as Monschau, Bad Münstereifel, Monreal or Kronenburg - each town has its own character, but what they all have in common is a tangible connection to history and regional identity.
In small stores with regional crafts, in cafés with a view of historic market squares or on a guided tour that takes you through alleyways and stories. Much can be explored on foot - relaxed, approachable, authentic.
Architecture, nature and lifestyle form a harmonious whole in the small towns of the Eifel. You can arrive here, slow down and discover with open eyes what has been preserved over generations. And by the way, these places are particularly atmospheric photo motifs.
