The areas of activity include hiking , including the training of hiking guides, nature conservation and cultural maintenance as well as youth work. In addition to various books, hiking maps and route guides, it publishes the “Eifeljahrbuch” and, at irregular intervals, an average of five times a year, the members' magazine “Die Eifel”. The Eifelverein in common with the "History & Antiquity Association for Mayen and the surrounding area," the city Mayen and the district of Mayen-Koblenz winner of the Eifel museum in Genovevaburg Mayen. He maintains in Schilsbachtal the Youth hostel "Schilsbachtal" directly on the Rurtalsperre in Schwammenauel in the town of Simmerath - Woffelsbach . The association has owned the Niederburg near Manderscheid since 1899 , the ruins of which have been carefully renovated since then and are also available for events.

On the German side, the Eifelverein is the sponsor of the European Association for the Eifel and Ardennes (EVEA), to which Belgium, France (until 1998), Luxembourg and Germany have belonged since 1955. From 1983 to 1993 the Eifelverein organized the Euregio star hike at the three-country point Vaals , the point of contact between Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.

Two main hiking trails were named after former chairmen, including the “Josef-Schramm-Weg” (between Kreuzau and Trier ) and the “Karl-Kaufmann-Weg” (between Brühl and Trier). While the “Josef-Schramm-Weg” was renamed “Felsenweg” in 2017 because of the NSDAP membership of the bearer, the name “Karl-Kaufmann-Weg” is also to be changed for similar reasons.
