Karmelenberg, Volcanic summit in Bassenheim, Germany
The Karmelenberg rises 372 meters above sea level, forming a forested cinder cone at the southeastern edge of the East Eifel volcanic field.
The volcanic formation emerged between 350,000 and 300,000 years ago, creating distinctive layers of pumice and loess from three separate lava flows.
The summit features the Marienkapelle chapel, consecrated in 1688, which draws inspiration from the Lady Chapel on Mount Carmel in Israel.
Visitors can access the summit through a 1.5-kilometer avenue from Bassenheim, with information boards explaining the geological and historical features.
The north side reveals Devonian bedrock while the south contains riparian gravels from the ancient Moselle River, displaying the region's geological diversity.
