The area around the Mahlscheid was created around 7 million years ago by volcanic activity. Until the 1950s, basalt was mined here for road construction. Even today, basalt columns can be admired in the area around the Silbersee.

The view around the Silbersee is simply a highlight, I have been there several times and always discover something new, no matter what the season. With a stop at the restaurant afterwards.
