The "Legendary Volcano Region Laacher See" is a joint project of the three collective municipalities Brohltal, Menig, and Pellenz. The operators have taken it upon themselves to bring the volcanism of the region closer to interested visitors and to make the unparalleled diversity of the magnificent landscape around Laacher See even more attractive for tourism. Several geo-routes in the Brohltal and four premium-quality dream paths in the Mendig area make the region also highly attractive for hikers. The volcano park hiking marathon described here follows the traces of volcanism through the East Eifel and incorporates many highlights of the dream paths and geo-routes into the course. With a total length of 42.9 hiking kilometers, there are also a solid 900 meters of elevation gain and loss to overcome. So physically, you should be quite fit if you take on this challenging task.
