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.

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
