May 12, 2023,Eifelverein Brühl Wanderwoche mit Johannes Tag 6
On our last day of the hiking week there was a small tour around the Schalkenmehrener and Weinfelder Maar.
Always different and always beautiful, and "my" 7 donkeys were there again.
Finally, a visit to "Café Maarblick" before heading back home.

Today I did a small but very nice tour of the Dauner Maare with Gerda and Walter. The views over the Maare and the Eifel are just great.

We set off completely untrained in typical April weather (mix of sun and rain showers and gusty wind). The Gemünder Maar would definitely have been too long for the youngest member of the family, who had to be carried for the last 500 m. It's better to take one of the higher circular routes, the view is definitely better.

At the end of our hiking days, we briefly circled the two only 10,000-year-old youngsters under the Dauner Maaren on the return journey.

Today we did our own route in Daun. It should be three maars at a glance, we did it differently, we could then go up and down on other paths with a better view of the maars or just past the water. Wonderful again anytime.

You can enjoy wonderful hikes near the Daun Maar. The Eifel Trail Maareglück offers a wide variety of options. There are so many well-developed trails around the Schalkenmehren Maar, the Weinfelder Maar, and the Gemünden Maar that you can create longer or shorter routes, with more or less elevation gain, depending on your mood. They're all fantastic. From the ridges, …

...it would have been great if komoot had stayed with us until the end. The spiral staircase in the Dronketurm didn't suit him.

Hike to Café Schneider in Schalkenmehren at the Schalkenmehrener Maar.
There we drank a delicious cappuccino or latte and then hiked on to and around the Weinfelder Maar.
There are really great hiking trails here. Easy to walk and always with a great view.
