Strohn

If you're exploring the GesundLand Vulkaneifel, you must visit the Strohn Lava Bomb. Weighing around 120 tons, this massive stone sphere is a genuine geological wonder of impressive proportions. Standing next to the nearly 5 meters in diameter and equally tall lava bomb gives you a striking impression of the havoc wreaked by volcanism in the Eifel region.


Interestingly, the lava bomb wasn't hurled through the area during an explosion. It's believed that parts of the crater wall detached, fell back into the volcanic vent, and into the glowing magma. Hot lava stuck to the fragments of the crater wall, and the sphere was transported back up during a subsequent eruption. This process repeated multiple times, leading to the growth of the lava bomb.

Additionally, the Strohn Lava Bomb serves as the gateway to the beautiful Strohn Switzerland, a small idyllic area where pristine, untouched nature unfolds around the wild Alfbach stream in a unique way. A detour there is definitely recommended!
