North Rhine Westphalia
On the trail of the World Cultural Heritage
With a population of 18.1 million people and more than 30 large cities, the state of North Rhine Westphalia in the West of Germany is characterized by its diversity and is therefore perfect for holidays and city trips.
While in the East you can hike over mountains with forests or even ski, in the north of Westphalia you can cycle through the special relaxing area in the flat countryside of the Lower Rhine. Münsterland, Sauerland, the Eifel and the Teutoburger Forest are popular leisure regions, which are in an exciting contrast to the cultural cities of Cologne, Düsseldorf, Essen and Dortmund.
The JUFA Hotel Jülich in North Rhine Westphalia is located in the gentle landscape of the border triangle between Holland-Belgium-Germany in the middle of the fun Brückenkopf park.
