Pulvermaar

Highlight • Lake

Circular in shape, deep blue in water and unfathomably deep, that is the Pulvermaar near Gillenfeld. It is one of the best-known and most popular Maare, as you can go swimming here in the summer. A slide, diving tower, and children's pool ensure summer bathing fun. Or you can rent one of the rowing boats and take it for a spin across the calm water surface.
It was formed about 23,000 years ago by volcanic activity. With a water depth of about 74 meters, it is the deepest Maar in the Eifel and particularly impressive due to its almost circular crater, completely filled with water – one of the "Eyes of the Eifel".

View of the Manderscheid Castles

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful castles! The lower castle is big and you can even visit it, but the upper castle is free to enter and you have a wonderful view of the lower castle!

Maarsattel

Highlight • Viewpoint

From Maarsattel you have an impressive view of two Maare (Schalkenmehrener Maar and Weinfelder Maar) and their explosive history. You can see Schalkenmehren in one direction and the Weinfelder Kapelle in the other.
Here there is a viewing platform with a bench on which to linger very well.

Old Schalkenmehren Train Station

Highlight • Monument

"Old Station" Schalkenmehren
Passenger service between Daun and Wittlich was discontinued on November 1, 1981.
Schalkenmehren. Approaching the Old Station in Schalkenmehren on the former railway line, today's Maare-Mosel cycle path, and seeing the station building, it's hard to believe that it was opened as a fourth-class railway station exactly 100 years ago.
But how did it all begin 100 years ago? Surveying for the Daun-Wittlich railway line began as early as 1897. General preparatory work for the single-track line began in 1907. But it would take some time before the Daun-Schalkenmehren-Gillenfeld section opened on December 1, 1909, with the line running over the 28-meter-high Daun viaduct and through the 560-meter-long Schalkenmehren railway tunnel, "Großes Schlitzohr" (Great Sly Fox). The extension from Gillenfeld to Manderscheid to Pantenburg was completed on May 1, 1910, and the extension from Manderscheid-Pantenburg to Wittlich, signifying the completion of the entire line, was completed on July 1, 1910.
The completion of the Daun-Wittlich railway line brought rapid development to the village of Schalkenmehren. In the first year of the line's existence (1910), 18,968 tickets were sold in Schalkenmehren, followed by 25,057 in 1913, 27,969 in 1919, and even 30,279 in 1922. In addition, Schalkenmehren station was designed for general cargo traffic and the receipt and dispatch of wagonloads.
