Hellenthal lies on the Olef River in Germany’s North Rhine-Westphalia, where the wooded Eifel uplands extend towards the Belgian border. The municipality is shaped by narrow valleys, extensive forest and the Oleftalsperre reservoir, which holds back the Olef near the town. Hellenthal is known for the Wildfreigehege Hellenthal wildlife park and its birds-of-prey displays. In the Reifferscheid district, the ruins of Reifferscheid Castle recall the area’s medieval past from their hilltop setting.
