Home // Your Eifel // Eifel National Park

Woods, water, wilderness – the Eifel National Park

An area as large as 17,000 football fields, 11,200 animal and plant species, an 85-kilometre “Wildnistrail”, and best of all: It lies adjacent to your temporary home. But the Eifel National Park is much more than its facts and figures; it is a true paradise for the senses. Feel the soft moss under your feet, touch the rough bark of the giant, centuries-old trees, listen to the woodpeckers work, and inhale the scent of the fragrant woodruff. Look forward to experiencing nature in a way that will move you.

Feel and experience nature

The national park is made for discovering nature on your own. Observe wildcats and black storks in their natural habitat, enjoy the fields of golden broom blossoms (“Eifelgold”) in early summer, and quickly find your favourite spot. On a cloudless night, you can enjoy an unforgettable stargazing experience thanks to the low air pollution and sparse population of the national park. It is not for nothing that the national park has been recognised as an International Star Park. Breathe in, breathe out, and enjoy yourself – there is probably nowhere as easy to do so as in the untouched natural landscape of our national park.

Experience the Eifel Dark Sky Park

The Eifel is one of the darkest regions in Germany – and that’s something truly special.
Where artificial light barely interferes, the night sky reveals its full beauty. It’s no coincidence that the Eifel has been officially recognized as an International Dark Sky Park – a title awarded to only a few places in the world.

Venus on the horizon, the Milky Way above, and nothing but silence and nature around you – it’s a magical experience that takes many by surprise.

As a certified Dark Sky host, we know how precious nights like these are. That’s why we’ve created a lovingly curated package for guests who want to experience the night sky.

Book your stay now and discover the magic of the night sky at our holiday park in the Eifel!
