Krippenweg in Monreal

Monreal

Experience the magic of Christmas in the Eifel!
From November 23, 2025 to January 8, 2026, the beautiful half-timbered village of Monreal will be transformed into a real winter fairy tale. Around 170 lovingly designed nativity scenes await you on the 7th Monreal Nativity Scene Trail, which you can discover along the romantic alleyways, in windows, courtyards and front gardens.

The Monreal Nativity Scene Trail has long been an insider tip for Advent in Rhineland-Palatinate. Astrid Dott and Ingo Becker put their heart and soul into organizing the nativity scene trail together with the people of Monreal. Many of the nativity scenes come from their own collection or were lovingly handcrafted throughout the year - each one a small work of art.

A special highlight is the small nativity scene exhibition in a former laundry room behind Untertorstraße - this year for the first time with children's nativity scenes. You can find it through the narrow passageway between the houses at Untertorstraße 8 and 10.

The entire crib trail is freely accessible and invites you to experience Monreal in a festive atmosphere. Let yourself be enchanted by the twinkling lights, enjoy the regional cuisine in the restaurants and treat yourself to a little break in one of the cozy accommodation establishments in Monreal - the perfect short break at Christmas time in the Eifel.

You can also look forward to the special supporting program:
On Sunday, December 7, 2025, at 4 pm, it's once again "Mulled wine meets nativity scene trail" at the "Alte Mühle" in Mühlenstraße - with free mulled wine, children's punch and cookies. Free mulled wine and cookies will also be waiting for you in the historic town center between the years.

A flyer with the route of the circular walk is available at the Viergiebelhaus in the town center.

Immerse yourself in the special atmosphere of the Monrealer Krippenweg 2025/2026 - an unforgettable excursion tip for the Advent season in the Eifel, which combines tradition, craftsmanship and Christmas magic.
