Munster

Highlight • Settlement

Take a short break in the center of Munster to discover this typical little town in the Fecht Valley. You can visit museums there to learn about the town's culture and history.

But above all, don't miss the chance to taste the cheese that gave the town its name: the famous Munster! With a touch of cumin and a sliver of butter, you'll be in heaven.
