High Fens – Eifel Nature Park
High Fens – Eifel Nature Park, Nature park in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany
The High Fens-Eifel Nature Park spans 513 meters in elevation across Germany and Belgium, featuring extensive peat bogs, heathlands, and diverse forest areas.
The park emerged as a protected natural reserve to maintain the ecological balance of its wetlands and preserve indigenous plant species across national borders.
Local communities in the German and Belgian regions maintain traditional agricultural practices while conducting guided nature tours through designated pathways.
Visitors must follow specific zoning regulations, with some areas requiring nature guide accompaniment and others completely restricted for conservation purposes.
The nature park contains rare dark sky zones where minimal artificial light allows clear visibility of the Milky Way during favorable weather conditions.
