Dauner Maare on Digitize the Planet

Beschreibung und Karte

The Dauner Maare Nature Reserve protects a unique volcanic landscape in the Vulkaneifel. Here, characteristic maars – evidence of past volcanic activity – form valuable habitats and a distinctive natural setting.

The Dauner Maare constitute a prominent nature reserve in Rhineland-Palatinate, defined by the fascinating geological formations of the Vulkaneifel. These unique basins and lakes, relics of explosive volcanic events, create a distinctive landscape. The protection of these maars and their surroundings ensures the preservation of rare habitats for flora and fauna, safeguarding these geologically significant natural phenomena. The natural beauty of this special place in the Vulkaneifel, located near the Lieser river, represents a valuable natural heritage.
