Kruft

A document from 1112 confirms that Heinrich II, Count of Laach and Count Palatine of the Rhine Franconia, donated the village of Kruft to the Benedictine monastery Maria Laach in 1093.

For centuries, the citizens of Krufter lived as serfs of the Laacher Abbey.
In 1719 the provost's office with an integrated chapel was consecrated. The baroque building served as an administration building.
In 1794 the Propsteig building was looted by the French.
Between 1826 and 1893, parts of the building were used as a school.
In the years that followed, the provost's office, in addition to being used as a rectory, also offered rooms for events.
The provost's office has been vacant since the new rectory was moved into in 1962.

Aschestrom in Bad Tönisstein

Almost 13,000 years ago, glowing clouds from the Laacher See volcano raced down the Brohltal and filled it with loose volcanic masses. This impressive spectacle can still be seen here today. Follow the road on the right behind the building complex and go uphill for a few meters. On the slope to the right, the layers of ash (trass) that have settled on the rocks of the older basement can be clearly seen. And where volcanoes were active, mineral springs are usually not far away.

Gleitfalte am Dachsbusch

The mining of volcanic material on the Dachsbusch ate deeper and deeper into the old cinder cone. It gives us an insight into the volcanic and climatic history. The volcanic layers show how they slipped during a cold period about 150,000 years ago due to the alternation of thawing and freezing. The badger bush does not need to fear further depletion, as the area is now a nature reserve. Follow the signposted path to the right up to the gliding fold, where you will find more information.
