Rodder Maar

Niederdürenbach

Open today

The so-called shallow waternear Niederdürenbach has a checkered past.

It probably got its origin from a meteorite impact and has been used by humans in many different ways over the past 200 years.

Around 1800 the maar was used, for example, as a fish pond for the Olbrücker lords or later as a cultivation area or source of fodder for agriculture.

The Rodder Maar is also very popular as a hiking area. The circular route around the Rodder Maar is particularly inviting for families and nature enthusiasts, and the locals also like to take a walk.

Those who stop for a rest at Rodder Maar can admire the diverse flora and fauna of this biotope.
