Title:	Geomorphological map of the Wustebach (Nationalpark Eifel, Germany) - an example of human impact on mid-European mountain areas
Abstract:	Two detailed maps illustrating the geomorphology and hydrology combined with land-use covering 2.5 km$^{2}$ of the small upper catchment of the W\"{u}stebach in the Nationalpark Eifel, Germany, are presented. The maps, at a scale of 1:5,000, are based on the ``Deutsche Grundkarte 1:5,000" official topographic maps and a digital elevation model. The first map depicts hydrology and land-use, whilst in the second map the geomorphology is combined with slope angles. Hydrologic and geomorphologic information is based on field mapping while land-use was mapped using aerial photographs. The study site can be subdivided into an upper part characterized by small gentle shaped valleys in the south and a lower part characterized by V-shaped valleys in the north. Numerous charcoal kilns and a few sunken roads show the human influence on the landscape from medieval to modern times. The area was strongly deforested until the mid-19$^{th}$ century. In addition, several dugouts, foxholes, gun emplacements, and impact craters show the strong human impact on the landscape during the Second World War.
