The summit of the Krufter stove is the highest point (463m) on the Laacher See. It is a forested peak and therefore the view of the surroundings of Lake Laacher is obscured. For a nice view, the Devil's Pulpit (view of the forest lake), which is located a little lower, is much better suited.

You have to be careful not to miss the entrance to the path directly opposite the Teufelskanzel ...

"The basalt cinder volcano Krufter Ofen is located south of Lake Laach. Its steep eastern flank drops to an oval, kettle-like depression. This depression drains into the Neuwied Basin through the so-called Halsgraben. On the east side of this depression, which is also called a "depression" in geomorphological terms, are the cinder volcanoes Heidekopf and Roter Berg. The lava flows from these three volcanoes lie under a thick pumice cover."
