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.

It is a hiking trail for all seasons, the Nature Friends' Trail around Lake Laach. Mostly on well-developed forest paths – sections with a path character are also included – it mostly leads around the lake at mid-height. Along the way, it repeatedly offers views of the lake and the monastery. The trail is continuously marked with an "N". We have slightly modified the route indicated on the hiking map: above Laacher Kopf we continue it up to the ridge and along the forest edge. From there, there is a good view towards Gänsehals and Olbrück Ruins. Behind the L115, we lead it directly up to the ridge and further to Lydiaturm. We start at the parking lot at the Hotel Restaurant Waldfrieden clockwise, which allows us to stop at Maria Laach halfway. The special experience after hiking, however, is visiting the Vespers in the abbey church Maria Laach (daily at 5:30 pm).  This trail is part of our “basics”, we walk it several times a year.

The Vulkanweg offers the opportunity for a longer-distance hike starting from Engeln. Via the Gänsehals with its observation tower and the Roderhöfe, you reach the 564 m high Hochstein and continue through the Bellberg nature reserve to Mayen, where you can catch the half-hourly trains to Andernach on the Rhine.

Starting at the edge of Wassenach, the route leads through forest and fields to Wehr and back again. Between km 15.8 and 18.0, the route goes along a district road, which is however lightly trafficked. There is an alternative through the forest, but I have not taken it.

    Durchaus sehr schöne, anspruchsvolle Tour. Kulturell sehr interessant und durch die Verbindung mit den Traumpfaden. Nur vier Sterne, da für meinen Geschmack in Summe zu viel „Waldautobahnen“, Asphalt und wenig Pfade. Bin mit Pausen ca. 8,5 Stunden sportlich gewandert.

    Landschaftlich sehr schön. Leider etwas lärmbelastet durch die Autobahn. Schöne Ausichtspunkte und interessante Einblicke in die Eifel Geologie.

    Die Beschilderung ist nicht ideal! Ansonsten: Die Tour ist super und bietet nicht nur ein wenig auf und ab sondern such vereinzelnd schöne Vista Punkte. Einzig die Dauer stimmt nicht ganz, wir haben (mit zwei Umwegen) knapp 2:45 Stunden benötigt.

    Schöne Tour. Vor allem im Winter, wenn die fehlende Belaubung bessere Blicke auf den See erlauben. Unbedingt die Klosterkirche und die Klostergärtnerei besuchen und den Lydiaturm erklimmen.
