The Lydiaturm directly north of the Laacher Lake offers the best view across the lake to the Maria Laach Monastery. The steep climb from the lake up to the tower is definitely worth it and this detour should be made. The reward is located at the foot of the rise right on the lake gastronomy.

The Lydia Tower stands on the former volcanic crater rim of Lake Laacher. The view over the Laacher See is terrific. Furthermore, the town of Wassenach is at your feet, a part of the Vulkaneifel can be seen and the Siebengebirge can be seen.

At the end of the circular hike, a short detour to the Lydia Tower, from which you have a beautiful view over the entire lake - with the Maria Laach Abbey dominating the scene on the opposite bank.
