The Vulkaneifel region around Daun, Manderscheid, and Bad Bertrich captivates visitors with a diversity that few other regions can match: deep-blue maars, medieval castles, quaint museums, and experiences for the whole family. Whether it’s sunny or rainy, for young or old—an unforgettable outing always awaits here.
Below, you’ll find all the attractions at a glance.
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 view from the lookout tower “Landesblick” is impressive: The Maar lake glistens around 200 metres below, gently embedded in the largest Maar funnel in the Eifel. However, only part of the 1,700 metres long basin is covered with water.
Collection of a stone-rich man: Hans Stölben is a stone-rich man in the true sense of the word.
This viewpoint directly at the Meerfelder Maar is unique.
Waterlogging of the dried up maar lake led to its present state.
Lieser sourceStarting point of the trail Lieserpfad in the middle of the nature reserve.
The"Dunaris Quelle" has been called "Frauendrees" by the local population for centuries. You will find the spring in the health resort park of Daun and it is a stop on the"Drees"hiking trail.
Another testimony of volcanic origin is the Vulkania healing spring, not far from the Nürburg spring in Dreis-Brück. The recognised healing water is a little refreshment on the way.
The Rulandhütte is a very beautiful hut along the Lieser Trail. It is perfect for a break with a great view.
