Vulkaneifel, Administrative division in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
The Vulkaneifel district spans 1,400 square kilometers of geological formations with numerous craters and mineral springs across the western region of Germany.
Volcanic activity millions of years ago formed this region, creating multiple craters including the Laacher See, which transformed into a mineral-rich lake.
Multiple towns within Vulkaneifel, including the capital Daun, maintain traditional festivals that showcase regional agricultural products and local crafts.
The district contains a network of marked hiking trails connecting natural parks and conservation areas, accessible through regular bus services from major cities.
The fertile volcanic soil of Vulkaneifel enables specific agricultural practices, particularly supporting wine production and the cultivation of regional crops.
