The Kompass Wandelgids 5209 Eifel is a German-language hiking guide designed for walkers exploring the Eifel region. As part of Kompass’s series of West European walking guides, it brings together mapped routes and local insights to help you discover trails, villages and natural landmarks across this volcanic landscape.
Measuring 17.5 x 10.8 x 2 cm and weighing just 336 grams, this guide slips easily into a daypack or jacket pocket without adding much bulk. The clear German text offers step-by-step route descriptions, while the compact format keeps everything you need at your fingertips on the trail.
The maps are presented at a scale of 1:100 000, which means one centimetre on the map equals one kilometre on the ground. This scale provides a useful regional overview—showing the layout of trails, elevation changes and key waypoints—while still offering enough detail for reliable navigation during your hike.
