Should it really rain surprisingly, which can certainly happen in the Eifel, you will definitely find protection here

Dry Maar

A remarkable moorland landscape
The Dürre Maar is the middle, second oldest of the three maars from the Holzmaar group (Hetsche - Dürres Maar - Holzmaar). Today it is filled with an intermediate bog. The Dürre Maar has been a nature reserve since 1979.
The dry maar silted up soon after it formed, and a remarkable moorland landscape has developed over the millennia. The layer of peat moss covering the surface is now more than 10 meters thick. Overall, the Dürre Maar offers very special living conditions for very special creatures.

Special creatures
A raised bog consists of 90% water and is very poor in nutrients. If you want to hold your own here, you need a special survival tactic. And so, for example, the rare cranberry has come up with something special to get full without drowning. Instead of developing roots or trunks to absorb nutrients, it covers the bulbs like a fine web that twines flat over the peat moss cushions. A number of rare animal species have also adapted to the extreme living conditions: insects such as dragonflies and butterflies or breeding birds such as whinchats and lapwings live here. And at the time of bird migration, short-eared owls and gray herons also pay a visit to the Dürren Maar.
