Eifel as far as the eye can see. 😉

Nationalpark Eifel

February 10, 2025

A special treasure of the Eifel National Park is the open land on the Dreiborn Plateau. Here, there are grasses, broom, hawthorn bushes, and many animal species that need precisely that. The endangered skylark, for example, lives and breeds in the open landscape. That's why it's so important that we humans only move along marked paths and do not disturb the breeding grounds of sensitive species off the paths 🐣. Over time, the open land becomes overgrown with shrubs and individual trees 🌳. To prevent the open land from disappearing completely, certain areas are mowed late in the year (after the breeding season). According to international criteria (IUCN Category II), such "management" is permitted in the long term on up to 25% of a national park's area. From 2034, the Eifel National Park is even expected to manage with less than 20% of the area, in order to preserve, among other things, the Dreiborn Plateau as a valuable habitat.

The most important rules for protecting nature: Stay on official trails, don't light fires or make noise, keep dogs on a leash, and take your trash with you. Thank you for your understanding! 💚
