Steffeln Volcano Garden

After the economic use and the removal of the volcanic material, the local community of Steffeln promoted the tourist valorisation of the volcano. The old erupted layers were exposed, an artificial cinder cone (with original cinder cone material) was heaped up and an artificial maar was created (also with original maar sediment material). A tour through the facility with 15 information stations was then laid out. In order to preserve the interesting geological outcrops in the volcanic garden and to prevent the plant from being completely overgrown by vegetation, a herd of goats is working in the volcanic garden as "landscape maintenance" as part of an ecological grazing project. eifel.info/a-vulkangarten-steffeln-1

Visiting the volcanic garden is geologically very interesting. The surroundings are very beautiful. So, just discover it!
