What defines riding in North Rhine-Westphalia?
Broad lowland plains sweep across the Rhineland and Westphalian Lowland, merging seamlessly into the North German Plain. To the south and east, the terrain climbs into the Central Uplands, taking in the Sauerland, Rothaargebirge, Egge Hills, and Teutoburg Forest. The Eifel National Park in the southwest shelters dense forests, quiet lakes, and rich wildlife. Aachen Cathedral, parts of which date to the 800s, anchors a region where every city carries its own distinct traditions and warm character.
