Eifel National Park

North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate and East Belgium are connected in the north of the Eifel by the transnational Hohes Venn Eifel Nature Park. Deep blue lakes and rivers, babbling brooks and wide reservoirs, wooded mountain ranges - you will be amazed at how varied this landscape is.
The Eifel National Park lies right in the middle of the Hohes Venn Eifel Nature Park. Covering around 110 square kilometers, this large protected area offers animals such as wildcats and black storks a virtually undisturbed habitat. In early summer, golden yellow broom flowers color entire hillsides - as if someone had poured light onto the landscape.

Unexpected discoveries: From orchids to kites

In the south of the national park, you may even be lucky enough to discover wild orchids - such as the spotted orchid. But the Eifel offers more than just botanical variety: forests, stream valleys, plateaus, old wooded pastures - the landscape looks like a carefully composed natural backdrop. And as you wander through nature, kites circle above you.

An experience for all the senses

The Eifel National Park appeals to all the senses: you look out from vantage points such as the Hirschley, 180 meters above the Rur reservoir. You hear the tapping of woodpeckers, smell woodruff, feel soft moss and the rough bark of old tree trunks under your fingers.
"Why don't you lie down on one of our sensory loungers?" the ranger suggests. Situated a little out of the way, they invite you to pause for a moment. Lie down and switch off. Take in and enjoy. In the Eifel National Park.
