Daun, a town in some low volcanic mountain range

by Maria250

"This region experienced a great deal of volcanic activity in the past, which has left its mark. The ‘Hohe Acht’, the highest peak of the Eifel at 747 metres, is an extinct volcano. The top of this mountain offers you a breathtaking view of the surroundings. Perhaps you wouldn't immediately link the abundance of water to volcanos, but this also has a volcanic origin. The mineral water of Gerolstein, as well as the numerous lakes -the Maares or maar lakes - stem from the volcanic period. Once you see the picturesque villages with the pine trees and timber-framed houses..you'll never want to leave".

I can confirm that once you have lost your way (either with or without jps, with or without intention) you have some tough time to leave the woods. We tried to make it to the fabulous "Daun Wildpark" but been too early and ended up anyway in wrong directions. Yet one can be assured great & beautiful detour will be provided!

"Daun is a municipality in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate..in the volcanic Eifel region, located south of the high Eifel on the small river Lieser..The surrounding landscape consists of volcanic hills..southeast of the town centre are the so-called Dauner Maare.. volcanic crater lakes caused by ancient magma upwellings. The three maare lie close together, separated only by ramparts of tuff. The Eifel Volcanic Museum is located in Daun.

Daun is a health resort with natural mineral water springs. The town recorded sales of 95 million liters of its trademark mineral water in 2002.

Daun has a partnership with the municipality Carisolo (Italy)." wikipedia
