Pellenz Museum
The Pellenz is a hill country in the northwestern part of the Middle Rhine Basin in Germany between Mayen in the southwest and Andernach in the northeast. In addition Pellenz is the name of a '' Verbandsgemeinde'' in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, which covers the north of the landscape of Pellenz and has had its seat since May 2017 in the village of Plaidt (prior to that it was run from Andernach). Geography The settlements of the Pellenz comprise the mainly industrial villages of Ochtendung, Kruft, Nickenich, Plaidt and Kretz (Pellenz Volcanoes or ''Pellenzvulkane'', east) and Niedermendig (today Mendig), Kottenheim, Thür (Pellenz Basin or ''Pellenzsenke'', west) and the Polch which projects into the region of Maifeld (Pellenz Heights or ''Pellenzhöhe'', south). The region lies alongside the A 61 and A 48 motorways and the Pellenz-Eifel Railway. The little river of the Nette flows through the rolling countryside which descends gently from west t ...

Mayen Koblenz
Mayen-Koblenz is a district (''Kreis'') in the north of Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Neighboring districts are (from north clockwise) Ahrweiler, Neuwied, Westerwaldkreis, district-free Koblenz, Rhein-Lahn, Rhein-Hunsrück, Cochem-Zell, and Vulkaneifel. History The district was created in 1973 when the two districts, Mayen and Koblenz, were merged. The district has been 'twinned' with the Borough of Waverley in Surrey in southern England since 1982. Geography The two main rivers of the district are the Rhine and the Moselle, which join at the ''Deutsches Eck'' in Koblenz. In the west of the district are the Eifel mountains. These also include the large lake, the ''Laacher See'', a volcanic caldera formed 12000 years ago. Coat of arms The coat of arms combine the elements of the two precursor districts. The tree, a ''Maie'', is taken from the Mayen district. The wavy line represents the two rivers Rhine and Moselle. The crown is a reference to the fact that in Rhens the Councils ...

Regions Of Rhineland-Palatinate
In geography, regions, otherwise referred to as zones, lands or territories, are areas that are broadly divided by physical characteristics (physical geography), human impact characteristics (human geography), and the interaction of humanity and the environment (environmental geography). Geographic regions and sub-regions are mostly described by their imprecisely defined, and sometimes transitory boundaries, except in human geography, where jurisdiction areas such as national borders are defined in law. Apart from the global continental regions, there are also hydrospheric and atmospheric regions that cover the oceans, and discrete climates above the land and water masses of the planet. The land and water global regions are divided into subregions geographically bounded by large geological features that influence large-scale ecologies, such as plains and features. As a way of describing spatial areas, the concept of regions is important and widely used among the many branches of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kuppen
A ''Kuppe'' is the term used in German-speaking central Europe for a mountain or hill with a rounded summit that has no rock formation, such as a tor, on it. A range of such hills is called a ''Kuppengebirge''. In geology the term also refers to corresponding stratigraphic forms. The term is similar to the English topographical and geological terms, knoll and dome. p. 198, by Vladimir Kotlyakov, Anna Komarova. Retrieved 5 Jul 2014. It is also analogous to the French word ''ballon'' which means a mountain with a rounded summit. In |
Volcanic
A volcano is a rupture in the crust of a planetary-mass object, such as Earth, that allows hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface. On Earth, volcanoes are most often found where tectonic plates are diverging or converging, and most are found underwater. For example, a mid-ocean ridge, such as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, has volcanoes caused by divergent tectonic plates whereas the Pacific Ring of Fire has volcanoes caused by convergent tectonic plates. Volcanoes can also form where there is stretching and thinning of the crust's plates, such as in the East African Rift and the Wells Gray-Clearwater volcanic field and Rio Grande rift in North America. Volcanism away from plate boundaries has been postulated to arise from upwelling diapirs from the core–mantle boundary, deep in the Earth. This results in hotspot volcanism, of which the Hawaiian hotspot is an example. Volcanoes are usually not created where two tectonic plate ...

Nette (Middle Rhine)
The Nette is a small river in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, a left tributary of the Rhine. It rises in the Eifel, south of Nürburg. The Nette flows east through Mayen before reaching the Rhine between Weißenthurm and Andernach. The Nette is not navigable and has otherwise no strategical importance. It is used in Mayen, among other things, as a supply of the local paper industry. It gives its name to the beer ''Nette Edel Pils'', originally brewed in Weißenthurm (but now brewed in Koblenz by the Koblenzer Brauerei), and the Clinic Nette-Gut of Forensic Psychiatry at Weißenthurm.

Eifelquerbahn
The Cross Eifel Railway (German: ''Eifelquerbahn'') is a non-electrified railway line between Andernach and Gerolstein in the Eifel in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. From Andernach to Mayen Ost (East), it is classified as main line and it has two tracks as far as Mendig. Services on the Cross Eifel Railway currently operate about every 30 minutes between Andernach and Mayen Ost and continue to Kaisersesch hourly as part of the Lahn-Eifel-Bahn service. The rail service between Andernach and Kaisersesch operated for a long time under the name of ''Pellenz-Eifel-Bahn'' (the Pellenz is a hilly area between Andernach and Mayen) and the section between Kaisersesch and Gerolstein was for a time operated as the ''Vulkan Eifel-Bahn''. This service was discontinued in 2013. History The Cross Eifel Railway was opened in several stages, with the first section opening from Andernach to Niedermendig on 1 April 1878. The second section opened from Niedermendig to Mayen Ost ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bundesautobahn 61
is an autobahn in Germany that connects the border to the Netherlands near Venlo in the northwest to the interchange with A 6 near Hockenheim. In 1965, this required a redesign of the Hockenheimring. The autobahn runs parallel to the A 3 on the opposite side of the Rhine. Between Mönchengladbach and Bergheim in the north and Worms, Ludwigshafen and Speyer in the south, it cuts through the landscapes of Eifel and Hunsrück, avoiding areas of dense population while still in proximity to Cologne, Bonn, Koblenz and Bingen. The A 61, built in the 1970s, is the most western connection from the Netherlands and Belgium to southern Germany so many trucks and tourists from these countries frequent the A 61. Between ''Kreuz Mönchengladbach'' and ''Wanlo'', the speed limit is 120 km/h. The section between the junctions ''Wanlo'' and ''Jackerath'' was upgraded to three lanes in 2005. The speed limit there is 130 km/h, paid for by RWE Power that in retu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Maifeld
The Maifeld is a landscape (a natural region sub-unit) of the Middle Rhine Basin on its western perimeter with the Eifel mountains, southwest of the city of Koblenz. It is known for its gently rolling hills. Location The plain, which lies at about 400 metres above sea level, is divided into the Upper Maifeld (''Obermaifeld'') south of Mayen in the west, and the rather larger Lower Maifeld (''Niedermaifeld'') area which adjoins it to the east, southwest of Koblenz. It is comparatively sharply bounded by the rivers Moselle (southeast) and Elz (southwest), while the River Nette in the northwest only forms an approximate boundary. Its name is probably derived from the Franks, who held assemblies here. Use The Maifeld is almost exclusively used for large-scale grain production. Only a few large farms, which are often hidden between the undulating fields, manage this region. The soils are especially fertile. Towns in the Maifeld are Polch (seat of the Verbandsgemeinde of Maifel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
