Day 3 - Eifel Hills, Ahr Valley & Ahrweiler
Join our included excursion as we combine two scenic regions: the forested Eifel Hills, and the pretty Ahr Valley, with its sleepy wine-growing villages.
The Eifel region was once a volcanic area, though maybe not overly obvious, the circular crater lakes offer a striking tell-tale sign of the hot-tempered beginnings of this stunning area.
We visit the historic and romantic spa town of Bad Münstereifel, with its half-timbered houses, narrow alleyways and charming town centre, before continuing into the Ahr Valley.
The vineyards dotted on the slopes of the Ahr provide the grapes for some of the best German red wines.
We also visit the old town of Ahrweiler, which still retains its medieval gates and fortifications.
We return to our hotel through the beautiful Eifel ‘Lake District’.
Meals - Breakfast, Dinner
Day 4 - Monschau
Today, we enjoy a full-day, included excursion to Monschau – a photographer’s paradise!
Half-timbered façades overlook twisting streets, cobbled walkways and quaint market squares make Monschau one of Germany’s most picturesque towns.
Visit the Rotes Haus (Red House), built in 1760 for the draper Johann Heinrich Scheibler, now open as a museum.
A local speciality to try whilst in town is the famous Monschau Mustard, if you dare! The mustard mill sells the fiery condiment in many flavours, including honey, green pepper and even Riesling!
