Destination Eifel, Germany

Destination Eifel, Germany

The Eifel is a magnificent mid-mountain range between the cities of Aachen, Cologne, Koblenz and Trier. Just across the border along the Rhine and the Mosel, you will find this romantic region, with its rolling hills, Mosel vineyards, charming towns and fairytale castles. Its appeal is the extraordinary scenery, the woody hills and the volcanic lakes of the Eifel, combined with interesting sights and towns. The landscape of this region has been built by volcanism. The mountains and the lakes alternate - the "blue eyes" of the Eifel. There is a rich culture here and the Celts and the Romans have left their mark. From your cottage in the Eifel you can discover this region - and you definitely will be back!

The lakes generated by the dams offer good opportunities for relaxing and water sports. Active facilities to use directly from your holiday home in the Eifel. You will find fabulous walking- or cycling routes here to enjoy the breathtaking landscape. But relaxing and recharging your batteries is not a problem here either. You could visit the spa resort Bad Münstereifel for example, which also has Roman history on offer. Or you could stay 'home' in one of our cottages in the Eifel with a good book on the sofa!

One of the best known towns is Trier, Germany's oldest city, where the Roman legacy is still clearly visible. Other Roman cities are Speyer, Mainz and Koblenz. When you arrive, the impressive 'Porta Nigra', the city gate built by the Romans in the 3rd century, will welcome you.
