    Monschau to St Vith

    July 19, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    We finished yesterday in Monschau, a rather quaint, old cobblestone town in Western Germany. Lots of half timbered houses and the red old merchant house from 1752.

    The streets were very steep and komoot send us down some of these with our laden tandem, Sally was petrified! Camped by a stream but also a busy road. Next day took us back to the Venn Bahn on a gravelled track through the woods. On the Venn bahn we soon got to a railway carriage were they served coffee and freshly made waffles, we had to stop! Some of the stretched were downhill at 2% and got us a good speed on the tandem!
    Lots of groups passing by on e- bikes doing tours and staying in local hotels but also lots of tourers with lots of panniers. The facilities along the path are truly good, with no barriers to content with and no rubbish to speak of. Frequent picnic benches and even reclining seats.
    We are travelling through 4 countries this holiday but also different regions, so you're never sure what language or dialect they are speaking, have a look at the photo! 65km Campsite most expensive of the trip €53
