German Volcano Route
The German Volcano Route or, less commonly, German Volcano Road (german: Deutsche Vulkanstraße) is a 280-kilometre-long tourist route from the River Rhine to the mountains of the High Eifel. It links 39 sites within the Geopark Vulkanland Eifel in the Volcanic Eifel (''Vulkaneifel''), at which geological, cultural-historical and industrial-historical nature and cultural monuments on the subject of volcanicity in the Eifel are located. The project was carried out in 2008 in cooperation between the counties of Ahrweiler, Bernkastel-Wittlich, Cochem-Zell, Mayen-Koblenz and Vulkaneifel. The choice of the 39 stations was made by the German Vulcanology Society (''Deutsche Vulkanologische Gesellschaft'', DVG).

Lava Dome, Mendig
Lava is molten or partially molten rock (magma) that has been expelled from the interior of a terrestrial planet (such as Earth) or a moon onto its surface. Lava may be erupted at a volcano or through a fracture in the crust, on land or underwater, usually at temperatures from . The volcanic rock resulting from subsequent cooling is also often called ''lava''. A lava flow is an outpouring of lava during an effusive eruption. (An explosive eruption, by contrast, produces a mixture of volcanic ash and other fragments called tephra, not lava flows.) The viscosity of most lava is about that of ketchup, roughly 10,000 to 100,000 times that of water. Even so, lava can flow great distances before cooling causes it to solidify, because lava exposed to air quickly develops a solid crust that insulates the remaining liquid lava, helping to keep it hot and inviscid enough to continue flowing. The word ''lava'' comes from Italian and is probably derived from the Latin word ''labes'', w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hohe Acht
The Hohe Acht () is the highest mountain ( ) in the Eifel mountains of Germany. It is located on the boundary between the districts of Landkreis Ahrweiler, Ahrweiler and Landkreis Mayen-Koblenz, Mayen-Koblenz in Rhineland-Palatinate. Geography and geology The Hohe Acht is located in the High Eifel east of Adenau. The mountain is a Tertiary volcano, whose cone is composed of Devonian, Lower Devonian rock and whose summit is made of basalt. Emperor William Tower In 1908/09 the Emperor William Tower (''Kaiser-Wilhelm-Turm'') was erected on the Hohe Acht. The occasion for the construction of this stone observation tower, based on plans by the architect, Freiherr von Tettau of Berlin, was the Wedding anniversary, silver wedding of Emperor William II, German Emperor, William II and Empress Augusta Victoria as well as the commemoration of Emperor William I, German Emperor, William I The tower is high and its walls are one metre thick at ground level. The work was carried out by mas ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bausenberg
The Bausenberg is a cinder cone hill, , in the East Eifel in the county of Ahrweiler in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Location The Bausenberg is located between Niederzissen immediately to the south and Waldorf to the north-northeast. To the east is the motorway junction of ''Niederzissen'' on the A61. Description The area around the Bausenberg is a protected area, which was initially provisionally established by a regulation dated 27 August 1968. On 14 April 1981, the hill was officially declared a nature reserve by the regional government of Koblenz. The reserve has an area of 127 hectares and covers parts of the parishes of Niederzissen and Waldorf. Its purposes are to preserve the cinder cone, including its northeasterly lava flow, due to its special geological significance and also to protect, for scientific reasons, rare plant species and communities as well as habitats for rare animals. Also on the Bausenberg is a well formed circular rampar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
