Pictures of Germany - the Eifel 1
| The
Eifel National Park. In early 2004, the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia set aside 10,700 hectares of the Northern Eifel region to form this state's first wildlife preserve. Beech forests, gnarled oaks and wild brooks - these are the hallmarks of The Eifel National Park. As the fourteenth park of its kind in Germany, the Eifel National Park closes the gap in the country's existing grid of such preserves and is the first to protect acidic-soil Atlantic beech forests in the low mountain range. The Eifel is situated in the triangle where Germany, Belgium and Luxemburg meet. |
