The blue crest is an elevation near Eschwege, which was created from solidified lava. There is a circular route around the Blaue Kuppe, which provides interesting insights into the three cauldrons that were created during the basalt mining. The site is now a nature reserve.

The blue crest is a hill near Eschwege, which was formed from frozen lava.
There is a circular route around the blue dome, which allows interesting insights into the three cauldrons (which were created during the basalt mining).
The site is today a nature reserve and included in the premium hiking trail P3 (19 km).

From the Blaue Kuppe, you can enjoy magnificent views of the Werra Valley and the Meissner Foreland. On the Blaue Kuppe itself, there's a beautiful circular hiking trail (about 10-15 minutes), where there are numerous signs that provide detailed information about the volcanic activity on the Blaue Kuppe.
