라허 호수‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪12‬개의 호수

During the summer months, suitable photo spots are scarce, as the lake is only visible from the bike path through the trees. But there are these little hotspots.

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.

Lake Laach in the eastern Volcanic Eifel, near Maria Laach Abbey in the municipality of Glees, is the largest lake in Rhineland-Palatinate. It formed in the caldera of the Laach volcano after its last eruption, which was initially dated to 10,930 BC. Following radiocarbon dating of buried tree trunks carried out in 2021, the date of this eruption was corrected to 11,056 BC; doubts about the accuracy of the new dating have not yet been confirmed. The outgassing observed as mofettes in the southeastern part of the lake is a sign of ongoing volcanism. Source: Wikipedia

The Laacher See is very beautiful.

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.

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

We spotted a lot of great crested grebes. And it was very exciting which plants bloomed.

Here you can see the cliff edges and ancient rocks from the time when Laacher See arose from a volcanic eruption.
