Pulvermaar

Highlight • Lake

Circular in shape, deep blue in water and unfathomably deep, that is the Pulvermaar near Gillenfeld. It is one of the best-known and most popular Maare, as you can go swimming here in the summer. A slide, diving tower, and children's pool ensure summer bathing fun. Or you can rent one of the rowing boats and take it for a spin across the calm water surface.
It was formed about 23,000 years ago by volcanic activity. With a water depth of about 74 meters, it is the deepest Maar in the Eifel and particularly impressive due to its almost circular crater, completely filled with water – one of the "Eyes of the Eifel".

Highlight • Natural Monument

A raised bog in the Maartrichter
The Strohner Maar is one of the last raised bogs in the Eifel. It is quite small, hence its name: Määrchen. It is a dry bog and belongs to the "Pulvermaar with Römerberg and Strohner Määrchen" nature reserve.
