German-Belgian Nature Park

The German-Belgian Nature Park covers approximately 2,700 square kilometers across North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, and East Belgium. An exceptionally diverse landscape awaits you.

Discover the impressive high moors of the High Fens, explore idyllic rivers and streams, or enjoy the tranquility of lakes and reservoirs. In the Kalkeifel, a particularly colorful biodiversity awaits you, while the forested heights of the Hocheifel and the foothills of the Vulkaneifel offer perfect conditions for hiking and nature experiences. 

In the Prümer Land region, the Schneifel ridge known as the “Schwarzer Mann” is a defining feature of the landscape. At 697 meters, it offers impressive views across the region. This forested area transitions in the south into protected natural areas such as the Alfbach and Mehlental valleys. Here you can experience untouched nature up close and discover rare animal and plant species.
A special highlight is the Prümer Kalkmulde in the southern part of the nature park. The open, gently rolling plateau forms a striking contrast to the rugged rock landscape of Schönecker Schweiz. There, you’ll find species-rich habitats and impressive natural scenery.
