June 11, 2026,🚶🏼‍♀️Weinfelder und Gemünder Maar – Blick auf das Schalkenmehrer Maar

I've wanted to see the Schalkenmehrer Maare in the Vulkaneifel for so long. Today was the day, and I got a closer look at two of them at least. The actual Schalkenmehrer Maar will have to wait a few more weeks, as time was limited today.
It's beautiful to hike there, the ascents and descents were tough, as the Maare …

June 19, 2022,Um drei Maare herum

Today we went near Daun. A short tour around the Gemündener-, the Weinfelder- and the Schalkenmherener Maar. Then, according to the idea, off into the water of the Gemündener Maare.
We started the round trip from there because I had hoped that the Gemündener Maare's outdoor pool would be a bit emptier than the Schalkenmeherner Maare's. The bill didn't add …

Wonderful hike on a perfect summer day around the three Dauner Maars.
The start was a paid parking lot in Schalkenmeeren, daily fee €5.
There are so many beautiful views along the route. This leads either along forest roads, forest paths and a few small paths. There was the opportunity to reflect in the Weinfelden chapel.
On the way we …

May 21, 2025,Rundweg um die drei Dauner Maare

Today's hike around the three Dauner Maars was so diverse.
Great views, magnificent forest areas, beautiful plants, goats, and the maars. Along the way, there were information boards about the maars/dry maars.
There were many rest stops along the way to enjoy nature. The beautiful lupines were overwhelming today.
A special place to pause is the church without a village. …

September 1, 2023,Rund um die Maare bei Daun

Once again on the way to another part of the Eifel and explored the Maare on beautiful small paths. You should definitely stay on the smaller paths, a bit rooty in places but much more rustic. The first test run with the new barefoot hiking shoes also went very well.

It was cold but beautiful. This trail takes you around the eyes of the Eifel on a varied circuit. They have something to offer even in fog. I hope you enjoy hiking 😁
