What's going on in the Eifel?
The Eifel offers a varied program of events throughout the year. Whether concerts, exhibitions, guided hikes or markets - culture, nature and regional history come together here in a variety of ways.
Wednesdays | The moderately difficult hike in the Eifel National Park leads from the Mariawald Abbey into the beech nature forests and the habitat of woodpeckers. It is suitable for children and all-terrain strollers.
In the heart of the volcanic Eifel lies Germany's most complete volcano, the "Rockeskyller Kopf". As it is a spectacular outcrop, it is rightly called the "mother" of all Eifel volcanoes. It shows all stages of its development from the initial explosive maar stage to strombolian eruptions and lava-spewing fireworks.

Germany's "Novel of the Year 2024": this has been written by Martina Hefter, according to critics, with "Hey, good morning, how are you?" She received the "German Book Prize" for this in mid-October, awarded for the 20th time in 2024. With strong media attention and significant sales impact: by early December 2024, 150,000 copies had already been sold. Translation rights have been sold in eleven languages. 197 titles were submitted for the book prize. What it's about: the everyday life of a financially precarious writer couple in Leipzig. About the wife's care for her sick husband - and about con artists who are active on the internet, contacting lonely women worldwide and pretending to offer them love. Ultimately, they are only after their money. Which is where they mistakenly target the wrong writer... For the writer Daniel Kehlmann, Hefter's book was the most important novel of 2024: "There hasn't been a more deserving winner of the German Book Prize in a long time."
