    Tips

    November 8, 2016

    One of the most famous symbols of the Vulkaneifel at 535 meters above sea level. The gratitude of the builders was the reason for this cross, which can be seen from afar. Even if the current location of the Maarkreuz is no longer the original one, it offers the hiker a relaxing resting place and a fantastic view of the Schalkenmehrener Maar and the wide volcanic landscape. On the cross you can read the inscription "Maarkreuz der Gemeinde Schalkenmehren created in the emergency year 1932". Stop for a moment, enjoy the inscription and maybe be a little grateful. ;)

      The Schalkenmehrener Maar is located about 5 kilometers from Daun and is one of the three Dauner Maaren. It is a Doppelmaar and consists of the western Maarsee and the Trockenmaar in the east. It is about 21 m deep and has a diameter of 500 to 575 m. In the Schalke Mehrerener Maar you can swim, boating, surfing, fishing and ice skating in winter. It also invites to hiking around the lake.
