Bubbling vents (mofettes) at Lake Laach

Highlight • Natural Monument

The small headland of the Jägerspitze is an ideal place for a picnic at any time of the day.

There is a resting place and enough space to spread out the picnic blanket brought along by the trees near the lake shore ...

Pumice Quarry at Lake Laach

Highlight • Structure

"With a density of 0.24 to 0.3 g / cm³, pumice is much lighter than water at a temperature of 20 ° C with about 1 g / cm³. This is why pumice is able to float on the surface of water. The low density Pumice is explained by the formation and structure of the rock. Pumice is created when lava rich in gas cools down very quickly. This is the case, for example, when volcanoes erupt in the vicinity of water or directly beneath the sea. " (Source: steine-und-minerale.de)

I haven't tested whether this pumice also swims here. The quarry is closed due to the risk of collapse!

Maria Laach Monastery Garden

Highlight • Structure

Maria Laach, the lake and the monastery are definitely worth a visit. Where else can you find a caldera that you can see, hear and smell?
