The section of a cinder volcano shows the viewer the entire range of the tephra that was once ejected during the eruption, the entirety of the volcanic loose masses.
These are fine ashes, the little stones "lapilli", bizarre fly ash and thick lumps called "bombs".

The color spectrum of the layered stones goes from red to brown to black, depending on the distance to the chimney. To which of the nearby volcanoes this breakdown wall can be assigned cannot yet be specifically stated.




The following hiking and walking trails lead past the Black Wall:


• Premium hiking trail "Pellenzer Seepfad" Traumpfad (16.0 km)


• Panorama path "Eppelsberg" - Geopfad route N (13.0 km)

Lava-Dome - Deutsches Vulkanmuseum

The Lava Dome is a very special museum in the Volcano Park in the East Eifel. On 700 square metres it is not "museum-like", but spectacular - for children and adults, for absolute newcomers and for those who are pre-informed about volcanism. In the "Land of Volcanoes", a multimedia show tells the story of two violent volcanic eruptions. Images, sounds and projections let you relive them - up close and intense, but fortunately virtual. The "volcano workshop" is a genuine small science centre. At experimental stations, visitors gain a vivid impression of the processes inside the earth. The "Time of the Volcanoes" lets stones speak: Anyone who touches them can hear and see the great eruptions of times gone by. Current seismological data and images from webcams around the world are particularly exciting. And in the round cinema, a fictitious news programme takes your breath away, because here it becomes clear what another eruption of the Laacher See volcano would mean.
