GERMANY - ALSDORF and MONSCHAU
| Márta and Gyula received us in their home. | We had delicious dinner (Gyros, French fries, tzatziki) in their big store hall. | Beer drinking in Monschau, where we made a nice excursion. |
| Monschau (not far from Aachen) is situated in the narrow valley of the River Rur and most of its houses on both sides of the narrow lanes are old buildings. Monschau is famous for its half timbered houses built in the medieval times and its cloth industry. It used to be a rich town therefore there are many mansion houses and four churches. |
