Bootsverleih am Laacher See

In the summer, the lake is used as a local recreational area for tourists. On warm days, Lake Laach—with its boat rentals—invites many swimmers to take a dip and relax. Pedal boats and rowboats can be rented about 5 minutes from the visitor parking lot at Maria Laach Abbey.

A sailing club and a surfing club offer opportunities for sailing and surfing on the lake, while a campground and a mini-golf course provide additional activities by the lake. Around the lake, hikers and nature lovers can enjoy the lakeside scenery and discover a unique volcanic landscape featuring rare plants and bird species. In addition, the German Volcano Museum “Lava-Dome” in Mendig offers an interesting excursion to the Volcano Park, which features over twenty attractions in the Eastern Eifel. Lake Laach, the Seehotel Maria Laach, and a fishing operation are all owned by the Benedictine Abbey of Maria Laach.

Note: The boat rental service may close on short notice due to weather conditions, particularly unfavorable wind conditions.
