ヴィルネブルクの湖・トップ14

The Luisenplatz Hut is picturesquely situated above Mayen, nestled in the city forest and the gentle hills of the Eifel region. It is considered one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the area and invites hikers to rest and enjoy the breathtaking panoramic views. On the popular "Förstersteig" (Forester's Trail) hiking route, this spot is described as a highlight of the tour – offering a "stunning panoramic view over Mayen, the Maifeld region, and all the way to the Rhine." Just a few steps from the hut is a trigonometric survey point, which underscores the unique topographical location of the site. This prominent point was once used for geodetic measurements.

The Eiterbachweiher pond is located near Kürrenberg (a district of Mayen) in the Vorderwald or Vorderer Stadtwald of Mayen, nestled in the so-called Eiterbach valley.

and a swim 😜

The history of the Volcanic Eifel can be explored at the Booser Doppelmaar. The Booser Doppelmaar consists of two silted-up maars, which today appear as flat hollows in the terrain. The two maars were formed between 10,150 and 14,160 years ago. Viewed from above, the two maars are circular basins. The west-southwest maar has a diameter of around 700 m and is between 30 and 60 m deep, the east-northeast maar is between 650 and 700 m large and has a depth of 50 to 87 m. The two hollows are very wet, so there are still places that have a permanent water surface. The water areas were previously used as fish ponds, but later silted up and served as meadows and fields. Today there is again a fish pond in the west-southwestern maar, the Booser Weiher, see also https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booser_Doppelmaar

The Booser Doppelmaartour is an Eifel dream trail. It is important that you look in vain for water here, because the two maars are so-called dry maars.

From a wooden bridge there is a wonderful view of the swampy foothills of the rainwater-filled Booser Maar, which is located in the Hohe Acht mountain region and approx. 8 km south of the Hohe Acht. The maar lies in a circular tuff basin, whose tuff walls are covered with swampy meadows and the edge of the bank is overgrown with reeds. Galloways graze in the dry, higher meadows.

I would like to make a correction: the place is called Rieden, and the lake is called Riedener Waldsee. </smartassmodeoff> ;)

A beautiful little lake. A pizzeria and a restaurant with good plain cooking are right on the lake. There is also a playground and a gym.
