Ulmen: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Nature

Anyone wishing to rent a holiday apartment in Ulmen can then continue their accommodation search. Ulmen’s visitor landscape is shaped by two volcanic maar lakes: the Jungferweiher, described as the oldest and largest volcanic crater in the Eifel and as a nature and bird sanctuary with rare bird and plant species, and the centrally located Ulmener Maar, described as the youngest maar in the Eifel and 37 metres deep.

Culture and History

The Ulmener Maar is overlooked by the ruins of a 11th-century Crusader castle. It offers a viewpoint with views over St. Matthias Parish Church and Ulmen.

Discoveries

The 126-metre-long Ulmener Maar Tunnel connects the Ulmener Maar and the Jungferweiher. Visitors can explore it independently and without protective equipment, view sediment layers and a geological exhibition chamber, and use the accessible entrance on the Jungferweiher side.

A smartphone-based discovery tour connects the Maar Tunnel, the Ulmener Maar, the Jungferweiher and the castle via QR code pick-up points, short videos and a quiz for children. The route is approximately 3.7 kilometres long and takes about 2.5 hours, including walking and stops.
