Hiking

The Meerfelder Maar was created according to the latest findings about 80,000 years ago by a huge underground water vapor explosion. In such phreatomagmatic explosions, hot magma encounters a water-rich layer of rock as it rises. Rock layers are destroyed and thrown upwards. A visible crater wall is the result. The resulting cavity fills with rock again and on the surface of a burglar, which gradually fills with water. The entire crater of the maares, which today is only partially filled with water, is the largest in the Eifel.
