The holiday region Eifel, a beautiful landscape of low mountains
with isolated forests, volcanoes that have become extinct,
extensive hill countries and picturesque valleys, is situated in
the triangle where three countries meet, that is Germany,
Belgium and Luxemburg. The Eifel is bordered by the Mosel River
in the south and the Rhine in the east. In the north it is
limited by the hills of the High Fens (Hohes Venn), in the west
by the Ardennes of Belgium and Luxemburg.
There are several distinct chains within the Eifel.
The northernmost parts are called Ahrgebirge and rise north of
the Ahr River in the district of Ahrweiler.
South of that river there is the Hohe Eifel ("High Eifel"), with
the Hohe Acht (747 m) being the highest mountain of the Eifel.
In the west, on the Belgian border, the hills are nown as
Schneifel (originally Schnee-Eifel, = "Snowy Eifel"), rising up
to 698 m. Also in the west, by the Belgian and Luxembourg border,
the region is known as Islek (Aquilania). |
