It's daffodil season again in the Eifel! Every year between the end of March and mid-April, around six million wild daffodils transform the Perlenbach and Fuhrtsbachtal valleys near Monschau and the Oleftal valley near Hellenthal into a sea of flowers. This year, the peak bloom is expected in the second week of April - around a week earlier than usual thanks to the mild winter.\n<\/p>\n

Guided or individual: hiking along the wild daffodils<\/h2>\n

A hike along this fascinating natural spectacle is something very special. Alex Hartmann, hostel manager at Monschau-Hargard Youth Hostel, has already walked along the yellow flowers this year and was \u201ereally impressed\u201c. You can walk to the daffodils on your own or as part of a guided hike. The town of Monschau has provided information on hiking car parks, circular hiking trails and dates for guided tours on its website.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
