View of the Weinfelder Maar (Totenmaar)

Highlight • Lake

There is a car park on the road above the Maare. After crossing the road, a path leads down to the Maar, from where you can hike in various directions.

St. Martin's Chapel at Weinfelder Maar

Highlight • Lake

The Weinfelder St. Martin's Church is a chapel that was destroyed several times and rebuilt again and again and was probably already important for this area during Roman times. The story is told in some contradictory ways. The reproduction from the website below seems the most realistic to me: kulturdb.de/einobjekt.php?id=800

One more thing should be mentioned: The Weinfelder Maar is also called Totenmaar because the people of Schalkenmehren buried their dead in the cemetery near the chapel, and are still buried.

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.

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.
