Eifel Hills - Eifel Hills

Japanese: アイフェル丘陵 - アイフェルきゅうりょう（英語表記）Eifel

A hill range 400-500m above sea level in western Germany, west of the Rhine and north of the Moselle. It is part of the Rhine Schist Mountains, which continue to the Ardennes in Belgium to the west. The area generally has gentle undulations, but is generally higher in the northwest and lower in the southeast. Farming and livestock farming are practiced here, but the area is sparsely populated due to unfavourable natural conditions such as climate and soil. The southeastern part is an area of old volcanic activity, with many beautiful circular lakes called maars, domes and cones, and in recent years it has attracted tourists, along with the national park in the north.

ドイツ西部，ライン川の西，モーゼル川の北にある標高400～500mの丘陵。ライン片岩山地の一部で，西はベルギーのアルデンヌ山地に続く。全般に緩やかな起伏を示すが，概して北西に高く，南東に低い。農耕，牧畜が行われているが，気候，土壌などの自然条件に恵まれず，人口希薄な地域となっている。南東部は古い火山活動地帯で，マールと呼ばれる美しい円形の湖や円頂丘，円錐丘が多く，北部の国立公園と共に近年観光客を集めている。
