Eifel recreation area
The Eifel holiday region is the German low mountain range between Aachen, Cologne, Koblenz and Trier. Scenically this region has something to offer for everyone. Whether you are a recreational sportsman, a person seeking relaxation or a nature lover - everything comes together in the Eifel. One thing, however, strikes everyone: the diversity of the landscape. In the south of the Eifel an impressive hilly landscape with bizarre rock formations and wild waters awaits you. In the north, on the other hand, you can expect wide forests and untouched moors, romantic little towns and historic castles. The Eifel is strongly volcanic. Nowhere else in Germany is this so noticeable as here. Here the landscapes are characterised by old volcanic cones and crater lakes between the Moselle and Ahr rivers. Cycling enthusiasts have countless opportunities to explore the holiday region. For example, on disused railway roads, along river banks, many paths have been extended in recent years. Hobby hikers can also look forward to well-marked hiking trails and unique landscapes in the Eifel.
