In the Maartenmuseum of Manderscheid you can visit the ancient horse fossil, which was found in Eckfelder Maar. In addition, one learns here a lot about the origin of the volcanoes and Maare as well as about the climate research in the Meerfelder Maar. maarmuseum.de

The building of today's museum was built in the 1920s and originally served as a ballroom and gymnasium before it was rebuilt from 1996 to 1999 and expanded by a three-story extension. The extension does not serve for the exhibition area, but creates space for a so-called "lively museum operation" with a seminar room, library, research laboratory, magazine rooms and work rooms for domestic and foreign guest researchers.

"Experience the exciting history of the Vulkaneifel in spectacular simulations and take a journey into the interior of the earth. The maars, unique archives for bygone times, show you their transparent side here - a walk-in maar model is a highlight of the interactive Exhibition.
Let yourself be guided through the flora and fauna of the Eifel Maare and look at the fascinating fossils of the approx. 45 million year old Eckfeld Maare, above all the famous "Eckfelder Urpferdchen" and the "oldest honey bee in the world".
