The mascot of the volcanic region "Laachus", the floating pumice stone, accompanies the children on the 300m long stone adventure trail on the monastery wall of Maria Laach and brings them closer to volcanism with riddles and child-friendly boards.

At the sports field we are standing in front of a mighty wall made of layered, alternately coarse and fine tuff banks.
If you would like to learn more about tuff, you can find out more about this rock and its possible uses here in the "Weiberner Schaufenster" on the left. The path up to the right also takes you in just a few minutes to the open-air exhibition at the stone saw house, where, among other things, a stone saw and a crane clearly illustrate the work processes involved in the tuff stone. The tourist information offers regular guided tours to the impressive Weiberner tuff quarries and - like the local stone cutters' association - organizes hands-on stone hammering courses, in which individual works of art are created from volcanic rock.
As the central point of contact in the Volcano Park, the information centre offers an overview of the wide range of geological and archaeological themes covered in the park.
