A volcano in Germany?  Yes! Germany’s volcano  was built by a German prince in the 1700s who was so impressed by Italy’s Mt. Vesuvius that he wanted to recreate it at home.  The result was the Stone Island of Woerlitz, located about an hour’s drive south of Berlin.  Today it is part of the Garden Realm of Woerlitz, a UNESCO World Heritage site.  It is the world’s only artificial volcano and has been restored, complete with annual eruptions.  Read more about it and see a video of the erupting volcano at Smithsonian.
