라허 호수‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪12‬개의 호수

CO2 Bubbles

A detour to the shore along Lake Laach is worthwhile. Here, you'll find magnificent views of and over the lake. In some places, CO2 gas is clearly visible rising from the depths, forming countless bubbles known as mofettes. A special highlight of active volcanism – extraordinary and very impressive. A detour to the Lydia Tower will reward you with a truly breathtaking view of the Laacher See volcano. On the southwest shore of Lake Laach lies the high medieval Maria Laach monastery complex. It is one of the most famous sights in the Laacher See Volcano Park. The abbey church is one of the most outstanding examples of German Romanesque church architecture. With the monastery's own garden center, workshops, bookstore, and a shop for traditional handicrafts, it's also a great starting point for a hike around Lake Laach. So, hiking enthusiasts, put on some light hiking shoes and head out into the wonderful nature of the Volcanic Eifel.

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.

Such signposts made of stone can be found again and again around the lake.

For sunbathing and resting - these benches can be found in many places on the lake.

Gases are coming up from the ground all along the eastern shore of the lake. You can smell, see and hear the phenomenon everywhere. Truly unique.

Today we finally made it and could relax on the bench. A fantastic view over the lake.

One of many nice places to rest along the lake
