Hike around the only mountain crater lake north of the Alps.
The hike starts directly at the car park at the Windsborn crater lake and first leads around the Hinkelsmaar - a small dry maar under nature protection. A few meters in altitude must be overcome over field and forest paths to the Mosenberg, which stands out from the surrounding landscape at 512 meters. Then it goes downhill again and through the Mosenberg volcano adventure park, a former quarry area, where the geological history of the Volcanic Eifel is shown using panels and a breathtaking lava cliff. On the last section of the trail, hidden in the crater, the Windsborn Crater Lake slumbers with mystical beauty.
A short tour that has many geological highlights in store.
✨ Highlights of the tour:
⇨ 0.4 km Hinkelsmaar

Beautiful hiking surprise! Along the crater lake Windsborn in the Vulkaneifel. Beautiful landscape, fine views, an old volcano and a crater lake. And all that with a warm sun on the head. Einfach geniessen!
