"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.

From the hills around the Schalkenmehrener Maar you have different views of the village and the almost circular water surface. One view is more beautiful than the other. Sometimes you see the St. Martin Church reflected in the water, or you can see a dry maar or the adjacent maar with fen.

It's very beautiful here.

There was once a train stop on the Maare Moselbahn in Udler.

From here you have a great view of the Schalkenmehrener Maar. It is one of the three Dauner Maars and if you look closely you can see that it was once a double maar that was formed by volcanic activity around 20,000 to 30,000 years ago. However, the tuff of the western maar filled the eastern maar funnel, so that today all that remains of the second maar is the fen vegetation in this area.

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.
