Der Eifelsteig

Voreifel, Nordeifel, Westeifel, Osteifel, Südeifel, Rureifel, Hocheifel, Schneifel, Kalkeifel, Vulkaneifel, Belgian Eifel, Luxembourg Eifel, Ahreifel, Kylleifel, Moseleifel ... The list could certainly continue to highlight the subtle differences of the cross-border low mountain range that reaches up to 747 meters high, located in western Germany as well as eastern Belgium and Luxembourg. However, it is these subtle differences that have often hindered a comprehensive view of the entire Eifel and the strenuous attempts to unify it. But then, in April 2009, the official opening of the Eifelsteig took place. This 313-kilometer premium hiking trail weaves through the Eifel like a red thread. Two federal states, seven districts, and 24 municipalities recognized that the Eifel cannot be confined to municipal borders. Now, when the hiker finds themselves in Kornelimünster.
