Three Maare Tour around Schalkenmehren
15 kilometers, 450 meters in altitude, mostly on more or less easily accessible paths, rarely on paths
Start in Schalkenmehren at the chargeable car park (day ticket €3.50)

I can roughly classify this hike into three different characteristics.
First of all, it goes past the beautiful three maars Schalkenmehrer Maar, Weinfelder Maar and Gemünder Maar. …

Nice little tour in the heat today. The planned stop in the middle naturally didn't work out. Opening only at noon on a day like this!👎Otherwise, it was beautiful along the 3 Maaren🤠. The stop was then in Schalkenmehren.

The path runs along the maars, which are the highlight of the hike. Since it had rained the days before, small streams appeared here and there on the path. The large meadows in the dry maars are impressive.

Used this app for the first time today. Downloaded it yesterday from the Appstore due to the high number of users. App worked well for me, just drains a lot of battery from phone. But I think you can save electricity with the offline map. This will be tested next time.

Highlights were: Trockenmaar, Totenmaar, Schalkenmehrener and Gemündener Maar.. despite the weather forecast, there were lots of people out and about. Cozy stop at the café in Gemünden with an …

June 25, 2023,🖤 3 Dauner Maare ab Üdendorf

Due to the extreme heat, I went very slowly today and took a route along 3 maars to be able to cool down in between. The Weinfelder Maar is the most suitable for those who like it rather quiet and undeveloped for tourism. The clear water is primarily shared with frogs and dragonflies. A few goats and donkeys are standing …
