Excursion Destinations Discover the Southeifel, the Mullerthal Region and the Wittlicher Land!

Welcome!

The Southeifel, the Wittlicher Land and the Müllerthal region – Luxembourg’s Little Schwitzerland form an independent natural and cultural environment in the beautiful Eifel. Large areas of deciduous forests and coniferous forests alternate with meadow orchards. Farmland and pastureland shape the region. Numerous small rivers and streams, castles and fortresses located in little villages and

towns exude a medieval feel. Varied landscapes characterize the south of the Eifel region. There are the wildly romantic rocky landscapes of the Ferschweiler plateau and the Müllerthal, the river valleys of the Enz, Prüm, Sauer, Nims or Kyll, the meadow orchards in the Bitburger Gutland region and the plateaus of the wild Islek in the border triangle of Germany-Belgium-Luxembourg.

Together they share an enormous treasure: distinctive nature and an amazingly beautiful landscape. Therefore, of course, the nature is our destination number one.
