The German-Luxembourg Nature Park (German: Deutsch-Luxemburgische Naturpark) is a cross-border nature park, which was established on 17 April 1964 by state treaty between the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. It thus became the first cross-border nature park in Western Europe.[1] On the German side Naturpark Südeifel is providing services for visitors.[2]
The park covers an area of 789 km2 along the northern German-Luxembourg border, of which 432 km2 are on the Rhine side and 357 km2 on the Grand Duchy side. In Germany, the area of the park is identical with the South Eifel Landscape Park (German: Naturpark Südeifel) established in 1958, while the greater part of the Luxembourg side coincides with the Our Landscape Park (German: Naturpark Our, French: Parc naturel de l'Our).
