North Eifel Adventure Region
Not far from the North Rhine cities you can immerse yourself into a different world in the North Eifel. You will experience undisturbed nature, cultural treasures, quite often a star-studded heaven and the cleanest air nationwide. Moreover our region is forward-looking when it comes to sustainability also regarding our touristic offers.
Direction for a day or longer
Write the script for your day trip or short break yourself. Be inspired by our offers. Maybe exploring the wilderness of our National Park Eifel along narrow paths? Or relaxing near the water on a glorious day under palm trees? Or would you prefere a more adventurous tandem skydive and meanwhile exploring the skies of our region? For a more unhurried daytrip we would recommend a little stroll through the ambiente of Kronenburg.
The Eifel has a wonderful landscape and means the feeling of being home for many people. It is not a self-contained cosmos, but an included part of Germany and Europe, with all their positive and negative developments. This mix makes the region so special and interesting for me, as the scene of my crime thrillers.”
Elke Pistor, Eifel crime author (from Schleiden-Gemünd)
Start a journey through time
The rich past of the North Eifel and its small region leads to an encounter of Roman era, the Middel Ages and the period of industrialization. Although it sounds a little exaggerated, time travel is possible here.
Next to well-known places like the LVR-Kommern Open Air Heritage Museum (Freilichtmuseum), the Zülpich Roman Thermals (Römerthermen) or Vogelsang IP, it is the unknown treasures that will surprise you.
Hiking with a topic
The National Park Eifel is the primeval forest of tomorrow. Here rangers can tell you amazing stories about the flora and fauna. The hikers of the Eifelsteig, the Ahrsteig, the Roman Canal Trail (Römerkanalwanderweg) and our hiking paths “Eifel Schleifen & Eifel Spuren” will show you that the North Eifel is multifaceted.
Human-Powered instead of Horse-Powered
Cycling in the northern Eifel is not nearly as challenging as expected. Those who like a comfortable ride can select one of our bike trails near rivers or the Moated Castles Route (Wasserburgen-Route). Or you rent an e-bike. Sporty cyclists may conquer the Eifel-Höhen-Route or can challenge their self with the MTB route network & “Freifahrt Eifel” with a mountain bike.
