The volcano garden is also located near Steffeln. The inner workings of the volcanoes can be experienced in a particularly impressive way in the Steffeln volcano garden. The quarrying of the Steffelberg exposed the layers in the volcanic crater that were formed during the eruptions.

Our tip: Visit the Wahlhausen Chapel in Steffeln and enjoy the view from here.
