Volcano Museum, Daun

The Volcano Museum in Daun is a space where visitors explore the geology of the Eifel region through collected materials. The displays include rock samples, scale models, and photographs that show how different volcanoes formed and developed over time.

This institution was established in a former district administrative building and documents the volcanic past of the Eifel region. The geological story it tells extends back thousands of years to when volcanic activity created the landscape visitors see today.

The museum illustrates how volcanic activity shaped the local landscape and people's relationship with it. Visitors can see how this geology remains central to understanding the region.

The museum is open from Tuesday through Sunday and offers wheelchair accessibility throughout the building. The exhibition spaces are arranged to allow visitors to move easily between different sections.

The basement houses training facilities with computer simulations that show how continents moved across different geological periods in Earth's history. This interactive experience helps visitors grasp the deeper forces that created the volcanic landscape around them.
