Schalkenmehrener Maar

Highlight • Lake

The Schalkenmehrerener Maar is the southernmost and largest of the three Dauner Maars. There is another dry maar to the east of the Maarsee. It is one of the rare double maars and is only around 10,000 years old. There is a very beautiful circular path around the maar. To the south is the village of Schalkmehren with places to stop for refreshments.

View of the Gemünden maar

Highlight • Lake

This maar is not only very beautiful and accessible via the MaareGlück-Rundweg, but there is also a forest café and a swimming pool here. You can swim in the maar and rent boats, and the sunbathing lawn is on the sunny side. However, you have to watch out for ticks. Those who want to can jump into the maar from a seven-and-a-half-meter high diving tower.

Gemündener Maar

Highlight • Lake

The Gemünden Maar is the smallest of the three Daun Maars. These are three particularly well-known crater lakes in the Volcanic Eifel region around the town of Daun in Rhineland-Palatinate. They were formed by volcanic explosions approximately 10,000 years ago.

The Daun Maars are located in the Volcanic Eifel Nature Park, which covers an area of 970 square kilometers near the Moselle and Ormont on the Belgian border. Numerous hiking trails introduce you to the landscape with its maars and volcanoes. Detailed information about the nature park and its flora and fauna can be found here: nationale-naturlandschaften.de/gebiete/naturpark-vulkaneifel.

Gemündener Maar

Highlight • Lake

The smallest of the 3 maars is nestled nicely in the crater about 100m lower than the surrounding area. A beautiful circular path leads around the Maar, a transition to the other Maaren and a path up to the observation tower. Swimming in the outdoor pool and boating are possible here.

Dronke Tower on the Mäuseberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the parking lot between the Weinfelder Maar and the Schalkenmehrener Maar, a path climbs uphill to the Dronketurm on äumeberg. There you have a panoramic view that extends as far as the Hunsrück when the weather is good. You can also see all three maars from here – Schalkenmehrener, Gemündener and Weinfelder Maar. Reason enough to take a short break here.
