Beschrijving
The Laacher See (also known as Lake Laach) is a volcanic caldera lake with a diameter of 2 km. It is in the Eifel mountain range, and is part of the East Eifel volcanic field. The lake has a circumference of approximately 8 kilometers. It is surrounded by beautiful wooded hills. From certain, higher viewpoints, it is a beautiful sight to see the blue crater lake surrounded by the high wooded hills. The lake is important as a breeding area for waterfowl such as Fuut, Dodaars, Meerkoet, Kleine Karekiet and others, as well as a resting and wintering area for water birds, as the lake only freezes completely in extremely harsh winters. In winter often Brilduiker visits the lake.
