    The only crater lake north of the Alps. Beautifully situated. Not just for geology enthusiasts.

      Absolutely impressive - when I was there, the crater lake was frozen with a thin layer of ice and was idyllic. However, I would like to go back here in spring/summer to discover the local flora and fauna... because according to the information board there is a lot to observe here. 😊

It is located near Bettenfeld in the Bernkastel-Wittlich district of Rhineland-Palatinate and belongs to the Mosenberg crater group, which consists of four craters and is named after the 517 m above sea level high Mosenberg. ..."
