Tips

August 17, 2024

The Laacher See area is of volcanic origin🌋.
The oval Laacher See 🌊 is the largest lake in Rhineland-Palatinate with around 3.3 km² and a water depth of more than 50 m.
The Laacher See and the surrounding lands are owned by the Maria Laach Abbey⛪️.
Scientifically speaking, the Laacher See is neither a maar nor a real crater lake, but a water-filled caldera - a crater that was created by a collapse after the magma chamber below the volcanic cone was emptied.
Small bubbles rise in the water - these so-called mofettes are rising carbon dioxide and illustrate the volcanic history of the lake🌋.
