Maifeld

The Maifeld is a landscape (a natural region sub-unit) of the Middle Rhine Basin on its western perimeter with the Eifel mountains, southwest of the city of Koblenz.

The plain, which lies at about 400 metres above sea level, is divided into the Upper Maifeld (Obermaifeld) south of Mayen in the west, and the rather larger Lower Maifeld (Niedermaifeld) area which adjoins it to the east, southwest of Koblenz.

It is comparatively sharply bounded by the rivers Moselle (southeast) and Elz (southwest), while the River Nette in the northwest only forms an approximate boundary.

Only a few large farms, which are often hidden between the undulating fields, manage this region.

Towns in the Maifeld are Polch (seat of the Verbandsgemeinde of Maifeld in the county of Mayen-Koblenz, but strictly in the Pellenz (Pellenzhöhe) from a natural regional perspective) and Münstermaifeld.
