Mendiger Vulkanfeld

Mendig

In 1994 the association for a local history museum created a field on Schulstrasse between Ober- and Niedermendig that shows exhibits from the surrounding volcanoes, the volcanic field.

A field on which volcanoes "grow".
In Niedermendiger Göpelwerk in Brauerstrasse, the Mendiger volcanic field has grown. The volcanic field shows a panorama of the young volcanoes in our vicinity.
Rock samples from the volcanoes and the associated lava flows, together with the older slates of the basement, provide an overview of the diversity of the rocks. With the help of a panorama plate set up in the middle, the respective volcano can be recognized in the spectrum of all.

The individual exhibits are set up around the plate and if you look upwards, you can admire the volcano in its natural beauty and integrity in the local landscape

Aschestrom in Bad Tönisstein

Almost 13,000 years ago, glowing clouds from the Laacher See volcano raced down the Brohltal and filled it with loose volcanic masses. This impressive spectacle can still be seen here today. Follow the road on the right behind the building complex and go uphill for a few meters. On the slope to the right, the layers of ash (trass) that have settled on the rocks of the older basement can be clearly seen. And where volcanoes were active, mineral springs are usually not far away.
