アンダーナッハの湖・トップ20

Simply beautiful here at the lake

Always a highlight. A hike around Lake Laacher See is worthwhile at any time of the year.

Very nice here at the lake.

Due to the fallen big tree, the view has a special touch.

The path around the lake shows us the nature of today and testimonies of yesterday - impressive were the mofettes (gas bubbles that rise from the interior of the earth)

A beautiful place to rest and watch the wildlife. This time we were able to observe two pairs of great crested grebes. Simply a place for the soul.

A beautiful biotope and a wonderful place for a break.

Even experts are puzzled about the geological formation of the Rodder Maare. It is certainly not of volcanic origin, so it is not a maar. Because of its circular shape, it could have been formed by a meteorite impact. What is certain is that the Rodder Maar has experienced an interplay of irrigation and drainage, agricultural and forestry use in the course of its history. For a long time it served as a fish pond for the Lordship of Olbrück. During times of need in the 19th century it was drained to grow crops. However, the constantly damp clay soil was neither suitable for arable farming nor for fodder production. Most recently, in the early 1960s, water-draining spruces were planted and the maar was drained. These efforts had not paid off. Source: http://www.ostiefel-aktiv.de/40848/41919.html
