Naturpark Hohes Venn-Eifel
Naturpark Hohes Venn-Eifel stretches across the German-Belgian border region, where forests, rivers, lakes and open moorland shape a broad upland landscape. Soft hills and dairy pastures form the Venn foreland, while dark woods, deep valleys and reservoirs define the Rureifel farther east.
Six landscape zones bring together raised bogs, limestone basins, mountain heights and valleys. Wooden walkways cross the wet ground of the High Fens, where birch trees and rare plants grow, while four protection zones regulate access for wildlife and vegetation. Marked trails support walking and cycling, and guided nature tours lead through areas that require closer care.
The Schwarzer Mann rises to about 709 metres, making it the park’s highest peak. Streams glint between the trees, and the ground can feel springy beneath the moorland paths.
