Genoveva Cave However, this one is no match for the cave of the same name in Kordel near Trier🧭❣️ Still very interesting🖤 Dark, take a flashlight 🔦 with you to explore the cave for a few meters. 🖤Super interesting outdoor fun 🖤

Very nice corner - especially the many benches invite you to relax and look over the lake.

Below the Hochstein is the rock face with the Genoveva Cave. Here the residents of the village of Bell mined millstones from the basalt rock. The basalt solidified in a columnar shape by the lava flow from the Ettringer Bellerberg volcano and was ideal for making millstones. Genoveva from the Sigfrid legend is also said to have sought refuge here.

Mofettes are rising bubbles of CO2 that smell like sulfur. Monks used to have a monastery on this site which no longer exists as they may all have died from carbon dioxide poisoning. The Laacher See is located in the caldera of a 13,000 year old dormant volcano that is not yet extinct.

The third station on the Geo-Route "L" (Laacher See) refers to the mofettes, small gas bubbles that bubble up in the water of the lake. They show that the subsoil is still volcanically active.

Definitely my favorite cave in the area! It is worth taking a flashlight with you, because without light you cannot see anything in the cave.

Here you can listen to the ducks chattering on the lake - unfortunately, the background noise of the nearby motorway is a bit annoying

Very nice paths. Despite the many hikers, you actually have your peace and quiet.
