German Volcano Museum lava dome

The German Volcano Museum spans 700 square meters of exhibition space, presenting geological phenomena through interactive displays and multimedia presentations about volcanic activities.

The museum exhibits document the powerful eruption of Lake Laacher See volcano from 13,000 years ago, which shaped the entire landscape of the East Eifel region.

Three main exhibition areas - Land of Volcanoes, Volcano Workshop, and Time of Volcanoes - educate visitors about the geological forces that shape our planet.

Located at Heidenstockstrasse 43 in Mendig, the museum operates from February through November, Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 AM and 5:30 PM.

The facility includes underground lava caverns extending across 3 square kilometers, created by ancient volcanic flows beneath the city of Mendig.
