Reachable by public transport We took the bus at Aachen to go to Monschau and walk 5km to reach Hoffen which is where the trail start.
We definitely recommend you to stop at Monschau is really really cute and a must go in the area! Once at Hoffen you have to go to the tourist center. There you will see the starting point of the trail represented by the face of a wildcat. From there on, this wildcat is going to be your best friend for 4 days! If at some point you miss one and have the feeling that you need to check your map, you can also follow the Eiffel Stieg signs. The wildnis trail is following the Eifel Stieg one. I'm not going to put more details about what you will see on your short trek because it is full of suprise and we didn't know that it would that amazing and well organized!
