A quarry with a fascinating effect
Spectacular "prelude" to your visit to the Geysir Museum
Your first stop on the trail of the Geysir Andernach is in a former quarry. Here you will experience the prelude to your exciting journey underground. You are part of a dedicated group of researchers who want to uncover the secrets of volcanism and its power. You are already fascinated by the elaborate and realistic settings - a small foretaste of what awaits you in the exhibition.
In the large research tent, audio installations and various exhibits inform you about the volcanic Eifel and its explosive history. A 3D overview map shows the number and location of the Eifel volcanoes. With the help of a large map of the Volcano Park, you can always see exactly which regions are currently being explored. You will also learn how different types of volcanic rock, such as pumice, basalt and lava, are formed. Be curious to learn more. There is still a long, amazing road ahead of you.
