Vulkanland Eifel Geopark, Geological park in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
The Vulkanland Eifel Geopark spans 2,200 square kilometers from the Belgian border to the Rhine River, featuring maars, cinder cones, and lava flows.
The formation of the Laacher See caldera occurred approximately 13,000 years ago through volcanic activity, marking the last major eruption in the region.
The geopark network connects local communities through educational programs and guided tours that present the relationship between geological formations and regional development.
Visitors can explore 750 kilometers of marked hiking trails that connect 77 scientifically documented maars across the geopark's diverse landscape.
Active geological processes continue in the region, with visible volcanic gas emissions and mineral springs demonstrating ongoing subterranean activity.
