At the beginning of the 20th century, the village priest bred trout in the maar, which was around 100,000 years old. In the 1920s the water was drained and its quickly overgrown, fertile ground was used as a viewing area. 80 years later, scientists proved that this was a silted maar. During a core drilling, 23 m of animals found tuff remains from the Laacher See eruption 13,000 years ago. In addition, the funnel lies on a geological fault line that runs from northwest to southeast. The renatured maar is around 120 meters in diameter and offers a biotope for numerous birds. When the maar was revived from 2007, the Oosbach was dammed. Source: 111 places in the Eifel that you have to see Further information: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eichholzmaar

The Kronenburger See was built between 1973 and 1977 as a flood retention basin. The lake has been a popular destination for sailors, surfers, anglers and swimmers for years. During the summer months, the lido on the southern shore of the lake with its large lawn invites you to swim and sunbathe. In addition, the entire southern lake area can be navigated with surfboards, pedal boats and rowing boats (boat rental). Tennis courts, mini golf course, kiosk and playground complete the leisure activities on the south bank.
