Along the Laacher See, a detour to the shore is worthwhile, here there are great views of and over the lake and in some places clearly visible CO2 gas rises from the depths and forms countless bubbles, the so-called mofettes. A special highlight of active volcanism - extraordinary and very impressive.

Two wooden bridges on the way span the wetter sections in the bank area.

Hiking

Enchanted riverside path at Laacher See. If you are sure-footed, you'd better go long here than the wide main path above. Especially exciting and varied for children.
