wintertime in Monschau National Park Eifel Germany Europe

In winter, hiking has its special charm: hoar frost covers meadows and trees, there is a relaxing silence in the forest, and when the air is clear, your gaze wanders into the distance. The Eifel offers hikers many promising opportunities even in the cold season - regardless of whether it is storming, snowing or the sun is shining.

There is nothing more calming than going on a hike through the Eifel in deep snow and winter sun. Only the crunch of shoes on the snow can be heard with every step, every other noise appears muffled, even the animals in the forest seem to enjoy the silence and you can hardly hear them. City and noise are infinitely far away, nature can appear covered in white splendor.
