Münstereifel Forest

Münstereifel Forest (German: Münstereifeler Wald) is a densely wooded region in the northern part of the Eifel mountains in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

It has an area of 237 km² and an elevation between 200 and 500 m above sea level (NHN).

The region is bounded in the west by the Limestone Eifel (Kalkeifel), in the south and east by the Ahr Hills, and in the north by the Zülpich Börde, where it forms the transition between the Eifel and the Lower Rhine Bay.

Numerous near-natural streams and ponds may be found in the Münstereifel Forest, including the Eschweiler Bach, which is a western tributary of the Erft.
