#cityplaybook #attractive Tucked along the Belgian border in North Rhine-Westphalia, Eifel National Park is a sanctuary of unspoiled nature, rolling hills, ancient woodlands, and sparkling lakes. Established in 2004, it's one of Germany’s youngest national parks, yet one of its most biologically diverse and inviting. The park’s motto, “Let nature be nature,” comes to life as you explore over 100 kilometers of hiking and cycling trails. Wander through wild beech forests, meander beside the Rursee Lake, or climb scenic viewpoints like Hirschley for sweeping panoramas of the Eifel landscape. Eifel is home to over 230 endangered species, including wildcats, black storks, red deer, and Eurasian eagle owls. The “Wildnis-Trail” is a multi-day route for those craving a deeper immersion into this living wilderness. In the evenings, don’t miss the Eifel Dark Sky Park, a designated star-gazing zone where the night skies dazzle without urban light pollution—a rare treasure in Europe. 📍 North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany 🕘 Open year-round 🎟️ Free entry #EifelNationalPark #LetNatureBeNature #DarkSkyPark #CityPlaybook #GermanWilderness #HikingGermany #NatureLovers
