Mofettes at Lake Laach

Highlight • Natural Monument

A mofette is the exit point of carbon dioxide (CO2) with temperatures below 100 ° C. It is thus a subspecies of the fumarole [1] and is seen as a side effect of volcanism.

Today was the next dream trail: We headed to Lake Lacher. The weather wasn't great, but it remained mostly dry.

The trail itself mostly led over dirt and gravel paths, with only a few singletrack trails. However, there were some steep climbs and a section that could almost be described as "alpine."

Great weather for hiking today, right? Felt a bit like spring.
I ended up in Nickenich and there I completed the Pellenzer Seepfad.
This is a nice, varied tour, there is a good view and in parts it goes along the Laacher See.
Recommended and rightly a dream path.

Out and about again in the Vulkaneifel 😃, for today I chose the dream path “Pellenzer Seepfad”.
I started from the hiking car park in Nickenich and walked the tour counterclockwise.
It was a very foggy morning, so no pictures from the first viewing points 😔. At Laacher See the 🌞 prevailed, the views that were on the climb to …

After I had spent three beautiful days on the Moselle (4 stages of the Moselsteig), but with the beautiful weather I didn't feel like driving home on the direct route, I decided to head for a dream path halfway. I've had the Pellenzer Seepfad on my to-do list for a long time, and it's right on the route. To my …

Barely two weeks after my last stage on the Way of St. James, I was drawn to another hike. I chose the dream trail around Lake Laach. And I have to say, this trail truly lives up to its name. Diverse natural scenery, exclusively on nature trails, gravel paths, and forest paths. A special highlight, in addition to the mofettes …

Today we hiked the second dream trail in this region – the Pellenzer Seepfad (Pellenzer Lake Trail).
We can absolutely confirm that this trail is a dream trail.
80% of the way through the trail was on small forest paths and we marveled at the autumnal scenery.
