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.

Schalkenmehrener Maar

Highlight • Lake

The Schalkenmehrerener Maar is the southernmost and largest of the three Dauner Maars. There is another dry maar to the east of the Maarsee. It is one of the rare double maars and is only around 10,000 years old. There is a very beautiful circular path around the maar. To the south is the village of Schalkmehren with places to stop for refreshments.

However, due to an approaching thunderstorm, we had to abruptly abort and turn back 🫤. However, we timed it so brilliantly that we were already in the car when the storm really started (including hail). (See screenshot for original plan.)

Instead of ice cream at the ice cream parlor, we had ice cream and coffee at home 😋.

Today is our final tour of the Mice Mountain and the Dronke Tower. Yesterday the donkeys followed us, today the goats 😃 The animals move freely on the Weinfelder Maar. I had some respect 😬
