Geographically the district is inside the Eifel hill chain. This land is hardly suitable for agriculture, and therefore in historical times the region was rather poor. The only wealth was the iron ore, today it is the nature with the many forests which make the area interesting for tourists. The Eifel is a hilly region in Germany. ...


Coat of arms
