Lake Laach

Highlight • Lake

From the campsite north of the lake and along the eastern shore, there's a forest path around the lake. The path is unpaved and, in places, very dusty. This path is shared with pedestrians, so it can be busy on nice weekends, so please be considerate of others.

The path around the lake shows us the nature of today and testimonies of yesterday - impressive were the mofettes (gas bubbles that rise from the interior of the earth)

Pumice Quarry at Lake Laach

Highlight • Structure

"With a density of 0.24 to 0.3 g / cm³, pumice is much lighter than water at a temperature of 20 ° C with about 1 g / cm³. This is why pumice is able to float on the surface of water. The low density Pumice is explained by the formation and structure of the rock. Pumice is created when lava rich in gas cools down very quickly. This is the case, for example, when volcanoes erupt in the vicinity of water or directly beneath the sea. " (Source: steine-und-minerale.de)

I haven't tested whether this pumice also swims here. The quarry is closed due to the risk of collapse!

Very nicely located rest area. Great view of the forest lake and the landscape of the Eastern Eifel.
