Restaurant Vulkan Waldfrieden

Highlight • Restaurant

In the restaurant Vulkan Waldfrieden you can find very good, often regional food at reasonable prices. The kitchen produces until 21h, e.g. very tasty aromatic whitefish (several times a week they come fresh from the Laacher See in sight) with aromatic potatoes from the area.
Quite subjectively, I continue to recommend the non-alcoholic yeast beer on tap.

Lydia Tower — View of Lake Laach

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Lydiaturm directly north of the Laacher Lake offers the best view across the lake to the Maria Laach Monastery. The steep climb from the lake up to the tower is definitely worth it and this detour should be made. The reward is located at the foot of the rise right on the lake gastronomy.

View of the Eppelsberg Volcano Quarry

Highlight • Volcano

The Eppelsberg is a cinder cone volcano that spewed lava 230,000 years ago.
A second volcanic eruption led to the light tuff deposits.
During the third lava eruption, the "black lava band" and the "colored layers" above it were formed in intervals of eruptions and rest phases. The eruption of the Laacher See volcano 12,900 years ago added a layer of pumice on top.
Staircase-like rock slides are a special feature of the Eppelsberg volcano.
The stone industry company AG has been operating the quarry since 1980.

Maria Laach Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

Unfortunately, you have to cycle on a country road without a bike path. In heavy traffic, caution is advised when crossing the Abtei road.
