The Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Transport of North Rhine-Westphalia plans to update the ordinance for National Park Eifel, established in 2004. Further areas โ almost exclusively state-owned land โ are to be integrated into the park; when the new ordinance takes effect, the previous ordinance of 17 December 2003 will cease to apply. A public display gives citizens the chance to comment; public participation runs from 22 June 2026 to 11 September 2026. Comments must be submitted by 11 September 2026 to the Cologne district government / Department 51, for example via Beteiligung.nrw, by email or by post. Printed versions of the documents can be viewed if needed at the Cologne district government and the National Park Eifel administration.
