The Eifel-Ardennes

In the hilly country in the heart of Europe, two regions and three countries come together: Belgium, Germany and Luxembourg. Despite the political frontiers the regions melt together to form a single natural entity. Cross-border nature reserves, common languages and the innate industriousness of the local inhabitants have helped mould the population into a friendly community.

A natural balance between an intact nature, economic progress and a healthy quality of life make this rural region and its inhabitants great hosts. Healthy air, excellent leisure opportunities and interesting sights further help make the region a great place to be.
