About Eifel
The Eifel is an impressive low mountain range in Western Germany that stands out for its unique volcanic landscape. This area is particularly famous for its characteristic volcanic lakes, known as maars, which were formed by explosive volcanic activity and have evolved into beautiful natural bodies of water. The Eifel offers a stunning backdrop of vast forests, green valleys and charming traditional villages that complete the landscape.
For active holidaymakers, the Eifel is an ideal destination with countless opportunities for hiking and cycling through the pristine natural landscape. The region is also rich in cultural heritage, with numerous historic castles and ruins that bear witness to a fascinating past. An absolute highlight is the world-famous Nürburgring, the legendary racing circuit that attracts motorsport enthusiasts from around the world.
Its location in Western Germany makes the Eifel particularly attractive for Dutch travellers, as it's just a short distance from the Netherlands. This makes it the perfect choice for a relaxing nature holiday where you can leave home in no time yet completely unwind in a green, tranquil environment.
