The Volcano Museum (German: Vulkanmuseum) in the old district administrative office (Landratsamt) in Daun, Germany, was set up as an extension of the existing 'geopaths' at Hillesheim, Manderscheid and Gerolstein and is part of the Volcanic Eifel Nature and Geopark.
Numerous information boards, photographs and exhibits from the Volcanic Eifel, as well as of currently active volcanoes in Europe and Asia, offer insights into the geological development of the Volcanic Eifel region.
In addition there are several other volcano museums that cover the Eifel, such as the Maar Museum in Manderscheid and the Volcano House, Strohn.
