Monschau
Open today
As the only conglomerate rock in the Monschauer Land, the immense, 80 metre-long Richelsley Rock lies on the edge of the High Fens. It was topped with a cross in 1890 to honour Prior Stephan Horrichem, the “Apostle of the High Fens”.
From the "Heidetümpel" biotope on the Kindgen, located above the local community of Arft, there is a wonderful view over the pristine landscape of the Vordereifel and unique juniper heather areas. A rest area with benches invites you to rest and relax as well as to observe characteristic animal and plant species.
