"Old Station" Schalkenmehren Passenger service between Daun and Wittlich was discontinued on November 1, 1981. Schalkenmehren. Approaching the Old Station in Schalkenmehren on the former railway line, today's Maare-Mosel cycle path, and seeing the station building, it's hard to believe that it was opened as a fourth-class railway station exactly 100 years ago. But how did it all begin 100 years ago? Surveying for the Daun-Wittlich railway line began as early as 1897. General preparatory work for the single-track line began in 1907. But it would take some time before the Daun-Schalkenmehren-Gillenfeld section opened on December 1, 1909, with the line running over the 28-meter-high Daun viaduct and through the 560-meter-long Schalkenmehren railway tunnel, "Großes Schlitzohr" (Great Sly Fox). The extension from Gillenfeld to Manderscheid to Pantenburg was completed on May 1, 1910, and the extension from Manderscheid-Pantenburg to Wittlich, signifying the completion of the entire line, was completed on July 1, 1910. The completion of the Daun-Wittlich railway line brought rapid development to the village of Schalkenmehren. In the first year of the line's existence (1910), 18,968 tickets were sold in Schalkenmehren, followed by 25,057 in 1913, 27,969 in 1919, and even 30,279 in 1922. In addition, Schalkenmehren station was designed for general cargo traffic and the receipt and dispatch of wagonloads.

The Hermes wayside cross stands on the former path from Schalkenmehren - Udler at a height of 495 m above sea level. Baroque cross with altar projection, roof-like ornamental pieces on the shaft base, the front surface and on both sides. Shaft at the bottom with a belly-like extension and foliage. The inscription reads: (no longer legible today) "ANNO 1713 JOANNS HERMES". Here too, above the inscription, a Pietá carved out of the stone." (Source: Schalkenmehren - Chronicle of the Maardorf p. 322/223) - Basis: the recording and recording of the crosses by Roland Thelen, Mehren, in 1980 "R. Thelen, Sacred Small Monuments, 2001". On the way to Udler, 2 km from Schalkenmehren, there is a similar cross at a fork in the road, also without a top, carved from red sandstone and heavily weathered. It looks towards Mehren.

This rainwater retention basin in the Hunert area regulates the amount of runoff during heavy rainfall.

The tour around the Schalkenmehrener Maar is wonderful.

For me, the most beautiful view of Daun is directly behind the Dronketurm from the swing.

Very suitable for taking a breather
