Rodderberg, Extinct volcano in Wachtberg, Germany

The Rodderberg rises 195 meters above sea level, forming a crater with shallow concave slopes near the Rhine river valley.

The volcano experienced its final eruption 250,000 years ago, creating a crater that filled with water and gradually collected sediments over time.

From the summit viewing platform Heinrichsblick, visitors observe the Rhine Valley, Siebengebirge mountains, and the distant cathedral of Cologne.

Two paths lead to the summit: a direct steep route and a gentler zigzag trail suitable for visitors with strollers.

The volcanic crater transformed into a maar lake 90 meters deep before natural processes filled it with soil and dust over millennia.
