Beschreibung und Karte

Hochkelberg mit Mosbrucher Weiher: A nature reserve showcasing a unique volcanic landscape. It protects a remarkable maar lake, developing peat bog, and habitats for rare plant and animal species.

The nature reserve Hochkelberg mit Mosbrucher Weiher offers a unique insight into the volcanic past of the Eifel. At its heart lie the Hochkelberg, a prominent tertiary volcanic cone, and the fascinating Mosbrucher Weiher.

The primary purpose of protection is to preserve this distinctive volcanic landscape, including its geological features like the maar and the developing bog. It safeguards diverse habitats for numerous rare and endangered plant and animal species, specially adapted to the unique conditions of volcanic and bog environments. The area is also of significant value for scientific research and environmental education, illustrating natural processes and biodiversity conservation in action.
