    Fine view, especially when it is calm and the crater wall is reflected in the water

      The Katzenbuckelsee is a fascinating relic of the Odenwald's volcanic past.

          Even if there is not much left of the volcano, the detour is worth it.

            The lake lies still and clear in the old quarry, surrounded by forest and rocks. A perfect place for a break with a view!

                  Although you can't see the whole lake from above, it's still beautiful to look at. In summer, the trees are quite dense.
