Feel the Green Hell inside of you!

The Marienhütte on a hill above the Kleine Kyll is used as a place for regeneration and rest on the mindfulness path.

The Lava Dome is a very special museum in the Volcano Park in the East Eifel. On 700 square metres it is not "museum-like", but spectacular - for children and adults, for absolute newcomers and for those who are pre-informed about volcanism. In the "Land of Volcanoes", a multimedia show tells the story of two violent volcanic eruptions. Images, sounds and projections let you relive them - up close and intense, but fortunately virtual. The "volcano workshop" is a genuine small science centre. At experimental stations, visitors gain a vivid impression of the processes inside the earth. The "Time of the Volcanoes" lets stones speak: Anyone who touches them can hear and see the great eruptions of times gone by. Current seismological data and images from webcams around the world are particularly exciting. And in the round cinema, a fictitious news programme takes your breath away, because here it becomes clear what another eruption of the Laacher See volcano would mean.

The Jungferweiher, a re-flooded dry maar located north of the Ulmener Maar, is known for its richness in migratory birds and serves as a source of drinking water for the Cochem-Zell district.

The Darscheid "Drees" is a "Säuerling" (acidulous water) in the middle of the forest, located near the "Lehbach" stream. The ferruginous "Säuerling" (acidulous water) passes through many layers of rock until it gushes out of the earth.
