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.

September 19, 2025,Eifel: Maare-Pfad | von Daun zum Schalkenmehrener Maar
The "Eyes of the Eifel" 👀, or rather the maars, had been on our list for a while, but we absolutely wanted good weather for our tour, which largely follows the Maare Trail. Today was the day 🌤 and we set off early for Daun. The official Maare Trail actually only starts in Schalkenmehren, which is odd, as it leaves …

Today we did the tour for the company party 🤣 So that if necessary some shortcuts are possible for people with foot problems 🤠

Nice mostly shady walk to Edeka in Daun. At the Daun hospital is bus stop 560 back to Schalkenmehren. (Rest. KuliMaarik at Gemünderer Maar has Tuesday Ruhetag)

From Daun in the Vulkaneifel 🌋 you can reach the three impressive volcano crater maars. The approximately 229-hectare area was placed under nature protection in 1984. It includes a unique volcanic landscape of Gemündener Maar, Weinfelder Maar - also called Totenmaar and the large Schalkenmehrer Maar Double Maar. The Totenmaar is also one of those "Lost Places", the Maarsee was …

A beautiful and varied tour. Great views. We recommend bringing a swimsuit if the weather is good - two natural outdoor pools in the maar are right on the route.

In Daun, we parked at the train station. It was easy to find, but the location was a bit inconvenient for today's hike. The starting point for our hike is about 1.5 km away.

The hike to the three crater lakes was fantastic. Beautiful hiking weather and a wonderful lunch break at a restaurant with a view of the maar.

Question for the Komoot community: When I record a tour, the recording often stops and when I start again, a straight line appears. Am I doing something wrong?
