Observation tower with a view of Eichholzmaar

The Eichholzmaar is one of the smaller maars in the Vulkaneifel. From the observation tower you have the best view over the maar, which is just 120 m in diameter and just 3 m at its deepest point.

Highlight • Viewpoint

If the observation tower is occupied during the tour around the Eichholzmaar, there is a bench a few meters away on a hill from which you can also have a good look at the maar and rest.

Super nice little nature reserve with many bird observation posts. Many paths around the Maar and a small parking lot are the ideal starting point for a hike.

A wonderful walk through total silence (in the volcano garden) with great panoramic views past beautiful flowers along the way.

The volcano garden is next to the regular path and is an option. It's definitely worth it - if you're not afraid of goats :).
You have to take an unspectacular route to get to Eichholzmaar. Lazy people can also go there by car, the country road runs close by.
