Dürres Maar

The Dürres Maar is a maar located in the vicinity of the village of Gillenfeld, Germany in the West Eifel mountains about 400 metres northwest of the Holzmaar.

It is surrounded by an embankment of lapilli tuff which has only been gently eroded and has a diameter of about 290 metres.

In the hollow formed by the maar is a transitional bog, which is made of sphagnum and brown moss peats.

The bog is not only fed by precipitation, but also be springs that are found at the northeastern end.

The Dürres Maar is protected as a nature reserve.
