You will find a small paradise with rare plants in Hinkelsmaar.
The Hinkelsmaar is part of the Mosenberg volcanic group, which erupted about 80,000 years ago. The Hinkelsmaar represents the most recent eruption. It is only surrounded by a relatively shallow embankment that was previously filled with water.
The crater has a diameter of about 100 meters and a depth of only about 10 meters. After rainfall, water temporarily stands in parts of the crater, the intermediate bog.
Parking:
Visitors should use the parking lots Hinkelsmaar/Kratersee or the parking lot at the angler's replacement body of water. To do this, coming from Manderscheid via the L16, simply follow the corresponding signs before entering the village of Bettenfeld.
