Description

Circular trail - 7 km - from the Höfen National Park gate parking lot


This circular trail takes you through Höfen, the village of the famous beech hedges. Between the green walls, sweeping views of the Monschau countryside open up again and again. The trail runs alongside the abandoned Perlenbach mill and the Perlenbach dam - places where history and nature merge.

    Ochsenkopf-Weg [96]

    Hürtgenwald
    Distance:9.3 km Duration:2:30 h Difficulty:Easy

    On a day in autumn, when wisps of mist drift through the spruce forests like ghosts, you can sense here on the Ochsenkopf a little of what made the forest battles so eerie for the soldiers on both sides and contributed to the myths and legends of the Hürtgen Forest.
