March 6, 2022,Schalkenmehren: Eifel-Tour - Rund um das Schalkenmehrener Maar
ich-geh-wandern.de/eifel-tour-rund-um-das-schalkenmehrener-maar

"We hike in Schalkenmehren, a town with 600 souls, and circumnavigate the Schalkenmehrener Maar there. The Schalkenmehrener Maar is one of the most famous "eyes of the Eifel", the three maars around Daun. Gemündener Maar, Weinfelder Maar ( also called Totenmaar) and Schalkenmehrener Maar towards the southeast between Gemünd and Schalkenmehren.

I am very, very happy about that and now we …

Wellness in the Eifel 😍 After breakfast, we went for a walk around the Schalkenmehrener Maar with our mum. The area here is beautiful and makes you want to go hiking. I think I'll come back... to hike and maybe for a bit of wellness too 😊
