    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.

                  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.
