Fire and lava in the Eifel
An active trail to find the Vulkaneifel's secrets
You don't have to be a romantic to pay homage to the beauty of Eifel landscapes. But that isn't all - the Vulkaneifel introduces anyone who is interested to the creation of earth with its world famous crater likes, the maars with the basalt quarries and lava outcrops.
Hundreds of places tell the story of the Vulkaneifel's fiery and exciting creation and lots also disclose scientific phenomena. We gently link up these legendary places and use selected cycling and walking tours to the treasures of this fascinating landscape. From "ancient stones" to time travel; everything is on offer.
