Volcanic Eifel landscape around Immerath near Landhaus Schend

Holiday region

The Volcanic Eifel on your doorstep

Crater lakes, premium hiking trails and cycle routes begin right at the hotel. Landhaus Schend lies in the heart of the Volcanic Eifel — nestled in the crater hollow of an extinct volcano, far from the bustle of the city. And the Mosel river with Cochem and its imperial castle is just 25 minutes away — many guests combine a day in Cochem with a quiet night with us.

After a day on the trails, our Eifel country cuisine at the restaurant awaits; for longer breaks see our stay packages for the Volcanic Eifel, and the photo gallery of the house gives you a first impression of the house and the landscape.

The maars of the Volcanic Eifel

The Immerath Maar is reachable on foot — and many guests hike from here to the Pulvermaar (one of the deepest maars in the Eifel) and the Schalkenmehrener Maar. Within a 15–30 minute drive lie the other Daun maars (Gemünden, Weinfeld), the Meerfeld Maar and the Holzmaar. The circular hike across the Daun maars with the Dronke Tower is one of the finest day tours in the Eifel.
