Valkenburg, Aachen and Monschau

5 Day Itinerary

• Day 1:

  Local departure by coach or Home Connect service, then continue to Valkenburg for a four-night stay.

• Day 2: Valkenburg

  Valkenburg, sometimes called ‘Marlstone Town’ because of the lime found in the soil and the soft yellow marlstone which has, since Roman times, been quarried as a building material. As a result, there is now a network of over 150 miles of underground corridors beneath the town. A visit to these caves is highly recommended.

  There is plenty here to keep you occupied above ground as well, such as the castle ruins and shops, bars, cafes and restaurants.

  Today, we enjoy an included excursion to the historic city of Aachen, where you have time to explore the stunning old town. Aachen is famous for its magnificent cathedral and the Elisenbrunnen fountain, which is also the symbol of the town.

   We continue through the fantastic countryside of the Eifel Mountains to the small town of Monschau, famous for its half-timbered buildings. The ‘Gem of the Eifel Region’, Monschau is situated on the banks of a small river and overlooked from opposite hillsides by the ruins of a stone watchtower and an old palace.

  Linked by a series of bridges, the town’s restaurants and shops lead up to the town centre where a charming church proudly stands.
