Lake Laach
Lake Laach is located in the Volcanic Eifel near Maria Laach Abbey. It is the largest lake in Rhineland-Palatinate. The last eruption of the former Laach volcano took place about 13,000 years ago. Today, the Laacher See nature reserve is a paradise for recreation seekers and water sports enthusiasts!
Maria Laach Abbey
The world-famous Benedictine monastery of Maria Laach awaits you right next to Lake Laach. The six-towered abbey church from the 11th century is particularly worth seeing. It is considered one of the most beautiful Romanesque monuments in Germany.
