The Geopark Laacher See extends from Andernach am Rhein over the Brohl valley near Niederzissen north of Laacher See.
In the east, the area extends into the Eifel near Boos and includes the entire volcano park from Mayen via Mendig to Kaltenengers.

Sights in the Geopark The Laacher See Geopark includes 17 volcanological and cultural-historical landscape monuments, the Vulkanpark Info Center in Plaidt, the Meurin Roman mine in Kretz, the Geyser Center in Andernach, the Lava Dome in Mendig, the Grubenfeld Adventure Center in Mayen and the German Pumice Museum in Kaltenengers.
In the area of the Laacher See holiday region, this offer is supplemented by five geo-path hiking routes, the highlight car route H and the information center in the tourist information center in Niederzissen.

Gleitfalte am Dachsbusch

The mining of volcanic material on the Dachsbusch ate deeper and deeper into the old cinder cone. It gives us an insight into the volcanic and climatic history. The volcanic layers show how they slipped during a cold period about 150,000 years ago due to the alternation of thawing and freezing. The badger bush does not need to fear further depletion, as the area is now a nature reserve. Follow the signposted path to the right up to the gliding fold, where you will find more information.
