West Eifel
The West Eifel, whilst geologically its northern half is part of the Vulkaneifel and its southern half part of the South Eifel.
The grassy summits are somewhat higher than those of the Vulkan Eifel, but are generally more rounded and less rugged. Geographically and topologically it can be divided into three regions:
The region is only sparsely populated in the north, but is crossed by motor road 60. It is heavily wooded and mining is of some importance. In the southern parts—in the valley of the Prüm and its tributaries—there is greater settlement and a degree of non-local traffic on the South Eifel Holiday Route and the Eifel-Ardennes Green Road. The area is part of the German-Luxembourg Nature Park.- Deutsche Generalkarte 1:200.000, Blatt 12
