ヴァッセナッハのおすすめランニングルート

From the campsite north of the lake and along the eastern shore, there's a forest path around the lake. The path is unpaved and, in places, very dusty. This path is shared with pedestrians, so it can be busy on nice weekends, so please be considerate of others.

Mofettes at Lake Laach demonstrate: The Laacher See volcano, Europe's youngest, didn't go extinct 13,000 years ago; it's just dormant. That's what volcanologists say. And indeed, on the eastern shore of the lake, it's bubbling like a glass of mineral water. Mass amounts of CO2 bubbles rise here, and there's a faint smell of sulfur.

On January 20, 1820, Daniel Heinrich Delius, the President of the Trier government, acquired the monastery estate of Laach Abbey. Between 1840 and 1845, his descendants, the Delius and von Ammon families, as owners of the monastery estate and the lake, had a new Delius tunnel built approximately 5 meters lower and approximately 1,070 meters long, with the older Fulbert tunnel partially filled with the new excavated material. This reduced the lake's surface area by approximately 48 hectares, and the agriculturally usable area was significantly increased. Source: Display board

While walking around Lake Laach and then visiting the abbey, you can put together an entire year's calendar from countless great photos.

The lake "Maria Laach" is a volcanic crater. It is not an extinct volcano, it is still active. You can still see it clearly in some areas of the shore, where gas bubbles rise from the so-called "mofettes".

The venerable Benedictine abbey of MARIA LAACH, very picturesquely situated on the banks of Lake Laach, is without a doubt one of the great highlights of this region. In addition to the extremely impressive Romanesque monastery church, where the monks meet several times a day for communal prayer (visitors are welcome to join in the prayers), there are restaurants, a book and art shop, a garden center and other businesses. Many visitors combine a tour of the abbey with a walk around the lake.

The Laacher See area is of volcanic origin🌋. The oval Laacher See 🌊 is the largest lake in Rhineland-Palatinate with around 3.3 km² and a water depth of more than 50 m. The Laacher See and the surrounding lands are owned by the Maria Laach Abbey⛪️. From a scientific point of view, however, the Laacher See is not a maar or a real crater lake, but a water-filled caldera - a crater that was created by a collapse after the magma chamber below the volcanic cone was emptied. Small bubbles rise up in the water - these so-called mofettes are rising carbon dioxide and illustrate the volcanic history of the lake🌋.
