アウデーラートの天然記念物・トップ20

The Ulmen Maar lies 420 meters above sea level today, covers an area of 5.5 hectares, and is 36 meters deep. The bubbles at the maar's edge demonstrate that volcanism is still active. They bear witness to a turbulent past—but rest assured, there's no eruption in sight! A wall of various rocks and ash, up to 20 meters thick, surrounds the cone. For those interested, these testimonies to this explosive past are beautifully displayed in St. Matthias Church. This unique wall, with its different colored layers and rounded inclusions, is worth seeing for more than just geologists. The slopes of the maar basin are covered with a beautiful forest, which can be explored on a circular walk. A detour to the medieval castle ruins, from which the Crusaders once launched their campaigns, is recommended. The view from the crater rim over the maar and the Eifel beyond will take your breath away. Whether after a sweaty hike or a long drive, the blue of the Ulmer Eifel lake is all too tempting in summer. However, bathing in the maar is prohibited because it is designated as a nature and water protection area.

The wooden beams and planks are gone. Now there's a walkable grating. The last few meters to the waterfall are adventurous, but secured with a rope. The waterfall is impressive 😍

We have seen many waterfalls on our tours and we were very positively surprised that there is such a great waterfall here in the Eifel and the path there is really great... rustic, steep, impressive... sturdy shoes are definitely recommended here... what great highlights do we have here in this region. Simply great!!!

The Ulmener Maar is small but beautiful. Located in the middle of the Eifel and in the middle of the city, it is a wonderful destination. You can easily combine a walk around the maar with a walk around the neighboring Jungferweiher. Both have recently been connected by the Ulmener Maar tunnel, which runs under the A 48 motorway.

Pay attention to your equipment on the climb. The path is very steep and slippery. If you have dogs with you, only go up if they are well trained, otherwise please don't go up, it's too dangerous. Footwear is the most important thing here.

A visit is worthwhile both in summer and in winter. However, the Ulmener Maar is a nature reserve, which is why bathing is strictly forbidden here!

The Pulvermaar in the Vulkaneifel southeast of Daun in Rhineland-Palatinate is a water-filled, almost circular maar lake and, despite its small area of around 38.48 hectares, is one of the deepest lakes in Germany at 72 meters. Like the Holzmaar, it belongs to the Gillenfelder Maaren. The Pulvermaar is one of the ten deepest lakes in Germany, only Lake Constance and a few Bavarian lakes (Königssee, Walchensee, Starnberger See and Ammersee) are significantly deeper. The original depth of the funnel created by the phreatomagmatic explosion is estimated to be around 200 m, with a surrounding wall of ejected material approximately 50 m high.

Circular in shape, deep blue water and unfathomably deep, that is the Pulvermaar near Gillenfeld. It is one of the best known and most popular maars because you can go swimming here in summer. Slide, diving tower and children's pool ensure summer bathing fun. Or you can rent one of the rowing boats and do laps across the calm waters It was created around 23,000 years ago by volcanic activity. With a water depth of around 74 meters, it is the deepest maar in the Eifel and is particularly impressive due to its almost circular funnel completely filled with water - one of the "eyes of the Eifel"
