The Eifel, an upland region some 70km/45mi long and 30km/20mi wide between the Rhine, the Mosel and the Rur, is a residual range of hills averaging 600 m/2,000ft in height and reaching its highest point in the Hohe Acht (746 m/2,448ft) which was disrupted by more than 200 volcanoes. The lava flows from these extinct volcanoes can still be clearly distinguished in the present landscape pattern, particularly around the Laacher See, the Nürburgring and the towns of Daun and Manderscheid.
