Laacher Lake

There are many places on Laacher See where you can discover mofettes. In my opinion, most of them are in this section. Have fun marveling and listening. Listening was what fascinated me most.

Lake Laach

Highlight • Lake

The round around the crater lake is really easy and can be done well with children too,
But you can also install one or the other trail.
The visit to the monastery is of course obligatory

The path around the lake shows us the nature of today and testimonies of yesterday - impressive were the mofettes (gas bubbles that rise from the interior of the earth)

December 17, 2023,Rund um den Laacher See
Today Hillesheim was covered in thick fog. We hoped that things would look better about 60 km northeast at Lake Laach and we were lucky. 🙂 The fog cleared on the way to Mayen, where we made a stopover. On the way we stopped on the country road to take a photo of what it looked like above the fog …

Like the Maria Laach Abbey, it belongs to the local community of Glees.

The Laacher See belongs to the properties of the nearby Benedictine Abbey of Maria Laach, as do the surrounding estates, a fishing operation and the Seehotel Maria Laach.
