Strohner Maarchen, Dry volcanic crater in Vulkaneifel, Germany.
The Strohner Maarchen forms an elongated oval basin measuring 210 meters in length and 140 meters in width near the village of Strohn.
Scientific analysis of pollen samples indicates that the formation of moor deposits in the crater began around 8800 BCE following volcanic activity.
The nature reserve surrounding Strohner Maarchen serves as an educational site for geology students and researchers studying volcanic formations.
Visitors can access the crater through marked paths within the Pulvermaar mit Römerberg und Strohner Märchen nature reserve throughout the year.
The crater contains a 10-meter thick peat layer that developed from an ancient crater lake, creating specific conditions for rare plant species.
