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.

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.

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.

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.

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 …

Unfortunately the weather is not so good anymore, it is raining, it is cold and windy. Nevertheless, drove to Daun to do a small hike at least on 2 of the 3 maars. The Weinfelder Maar with the small Martinskapelle

and the Gemünden Maar. Here in the Eifel, maars are circular volcanic vents that have filled with water

We start at the upper parking lot because it's free! The tour is great, but at the Mouse Tower you have to be a little careful to take the right path 😅

April 23, 2022,Auto 🚗 bis Daun zum Wandererparkplatz - Wanderung 🚶🚶‍♀️ Weinfelder,- und Gemünder Maar 23.04.22 (96)

Yesterday after our weekend shopping, we made our way to Daun to the hiker's car park at the Maaren.
The aim was to explore the Maare and the surrounding area. After sighting the Weinfelder Maar, we circled the Gemünder Maar.
For the Schalkenmehrener Maar, the view of the Maar and Schalkenmehren was enough.

July 26, 2021,Drei Eifel-Maare 👣 Schalkenmehren - Weinfelder und Gemündener Maar

The three striking Dauner Maars are close together and are easy to hike. The Weinfelder Maar, located between Gemündener and Schalkenmehrener Maar, is also called Totenmaar, as the original location no longer exists and only the small church ⛪️ has been preserved!

October 19, 2025,...und schon wieder...

This time, I combined the Weinfelder with the Gemündener. They're even more beautiful in the autumnal colors.
