Moselle Eifel

The Moselle Eifel (German: Moseleifel) forms the southeastern strip of the East Eifel to the left of the Moselle from the city of Trier downstream as far as Moselkern; in the southeast it does not reach as far as the Moselle Valley. It lies exclusively within the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate and is a truncated highland, roughly half of which is forested.

The Moselle Eifel runs in a southwest to northeast direction, northwest along the Moselle river, sometimes away from the river, between Trier-Ehrang, at the confluence of the Kyll and the Moselle, and Moselkern at the confluence of the Elzbach with the same Rhine tributary. The hills of the Moselle Eifel are lower than those of the adjacent and very ancient Volcanic Eifel to the north and only exceeed 400 m above sea level (NHN) in a few places, reaching a maximum of 423 m above NHN at Schafstall near Bremm. On the far, southeastern side of the Moselle Valley with its many meanders and well known castles rises the somewhat higher hill range of the Hunsrück.

The Moselle Eifel forms a major natural region unit (270) within the major unit group of the East Eifel (no. 27) die Haupteinheit Moseleifel (270) and has the BfN no. 27001. It is divided as follows:
