Geschichtliche Reise um den Rockeskyller Kopf - Die „Mutter“ aller Eifelvulkane

Mar 12, 2026 - Mar 21, 2026

Rockeskyll

In the heart of the volcanic Eifel lies Germany's most complete volcano, the "Rockeskyller Kopf".
As it is a spectacular outcrop, it is rightly called the "mother" of all Eifel volcanoes. It shows all stages of its development from the initial explosive maar stage to strombolian eruptions and lava-spewing fireworks. Information and stories about the shipbuilding industry, the origins of basalt and volcanic sand mining round off the programme.
