8의 샬켄메레너 마르가지 명소 & 주요 장소

A well-maintained cycle path runs around the maar, and beautiful views are guaranteed.

Circular route of approx. 3.4km - 1.5h - 60m elevation gain around the Schalkenmehrener Maar ... with plenty of seating for resting 👍

Anyone hiking the circular trail along the Schalkenmehren Maar will pass a very special studio: that of chainsaw artist Konrad Scholzen. Directly on the shore, between quaint half-timbered houses and blooming meadows, impressive wooden sculptures are created here – from powerful wild boars and majestic eagles to detailed hunters and owls. Each sculpture bears the marks of the chainsaw and tells its own story – raw, natural, and with a touch of the Wild West. The rough, yet precise processing of the wood gives each figure its own personality, which blends perfectly into the rugged, pristine nature of the Volcanic Eifel. Konrad Scholzen, himself a master forester, knows how to recognize the structure and soul of the wood and shape it. The result is impressive, unique pieces that fit perfectly into the landscape around the maar and bring hikers closer to a little piece of wilderness and craftsmanship. A real insider tip for anyone who wants to combine art and nature – and a lovely stop on a hike around the maar.

Café Maarblick – Warmth and Enjoyment with a View Anyone stopping by the Schalkenmehren Maar should not miss a visit to Café Maarblick. Here, warm hospitality meets delicious delicacies and a stunning view of the deep blue maar. As soon as you enter the café, you'll sense the inviting atmosphere. The display case is filled with fresh cakes and pastries that are both visually appealing and tasty – from fruity strawberry slices to creamy nut cakes. Ideal for a short break after a hike or a relaxing bike ride. Those who prefer something more savory will be treated to seasonal specialties – such as the spring-like pizza with asparagus, ham, and cherry tomatoes or a hearty chicken breast fillet in a fruity curry sauce, served with pineapple, mushrooms, fries, and salad. For fish lovers, there's zander fillet on Mediterranean vegetables or the classic trout meunier – freshly prepared and served with potato wedges and a salad plate. The friendly staff makes you feel immediately welcome, and the view of the maar makes the moment of enjoyment perfect – whether it's coffee and cake or a hearty lunchtime snack. A little piece of vacation in the Volcanic Eifel – simply a place to feel good.

Here, the guest is king. The service is extremely friendly, there's a very good selection of cakes, the food is delicious, and—as the name suggests—you have a magnificent view of the Schalkenmehrener Maar. Hikers are warmly welcome!
