Hiking

The Vulkaneum in Schotten offers an interactive exhibition that vividly explains the topic of volcanism. Across several floors, visitors learn how volcanoes shaped the Vogelsberg Mountains, how they continue to influence them today, and what role the climate, natural forces, and humans play in this.

Vulcan Tours 1, 2, and 3 also depart from here, taking visitors on a geological journey through time and showcasing the Goetopes in Schotten.
