The Schalkenmehrer Maar is the largest of the Dauner Maars. Originally there were maybe even two. You can also see a dry maar. An information board explains the origins of the various types of maar. The view of the Schalkenmehrer Maar is very open, so that you can see it very nicely.

The hiking trail between Schalkenmehren and the Maarkreuz offers many beautiful views of the maar.

Here you are on top of the former crater rim and have a great view of the wide cauldron of Schalkenmehrer Maares. Several worthwhile circular routes lead around the lake.
