Hiking
This wonderful round trip starts in the idyllic town of Manderscheid.
The Kleine Kyll is a short companion to the waterfall and the Wolfsschlucht.
From the observation tower on the Mosenberg you have a wonderful view into the distance. From there it is only a stone's throw to the Windsborn crater lake, a small, fairytale-like volcanic crater lake that invites you to linger.
Plan a little more time to enjoy the peace and quiet!
One highlight chases the next. The Meerfelder Maar is just a few kilometers away. Here the volcanic silhouette shows itself in a very special way.
Highlights along the way:
⇨ 3.1 km waterfall and Wolfsschlucht
⇨ 4.9 km detour to the volcano park
⇨ 6.1 km Mosenberg observation tower
⇨ 6.7 km Windsborn crater lake
⇨ 10.4 km Meerfelder Maar

Big Bang Sculpture
Highlight • Monument
It connects the Eifel city of Daun with Meerfeld and the largest Eifelmaar, the Meerfelder Maar. In addition to the natural landscape of the region, it offers an insight into our solar system and the cosmos. He tries to convey a sense of the gigantic distances and periods of the surrounding universe. The path is divided into two areas. Between the Kurpark Daun and the Bleckhausener mill are models of the individual planets, scaled in size and distance to the sun. Here a covered meter corresponds to 500,000 km in reality. In the second section between the bridge at the Bleckhausener mill, which leads over the Kleine Kyll, and the Meerfelder Maar, the distance traveled does not correspond to distances, but time periods. Every meter equals three million years. The time from the Big Bang to today is demonstrated.
The family-friendly route is uniformly marked in both directions with the bike path logo. (Wiki)

🤔 My watch sometimes records very strange altitude meters, of course it wasn't over 4000 😂
Day 1 of my Eifel tour 😊 Today we went from Manderscheid to the Windsborn Crater Lake and then on to the Meerfelder Maar. What can I say... a dream 😍😍
I've done it a few times, but I don't think I've ever done it in summer. It doesn't matter, you can always go 🥾🥾
The circular hike starting in Manderscheid leads, past many a highlight, to two fairytale bodies of water in the Vulkaneifel: The Windsborn crater lake and the Meerfelder Maar. The circular tour to the Windsborn crater lake and Meerfelder Maar starts in the idyllic town of Manderscheid. A short companion to the waterfall and the Wolfsschlucht is the Kleine Kyll. The observation tower on the Moseberg offers an excellent view into the distance. From there it is only a stone's throw to the Windsborn crater lake, a small fairytale volcanic crater lake that invites you to linger. A little tip: plan a little more time to enjoy the peace and quiet! The next highlight is already waiting a few kilometers further: The Meerfelder Maar. Here the volcanic silhouette shows itself in a very special way. Highlights along the way: 3.1 km Waterfall and Wolfsschlucht 4.9 km detour to the volcano park 6.1 km lookout tower Moseberg 4 miles Windsborn Crater Lake 10.4 km Meerfeld Maar
Surprise egg hike - excitement, games and chocolate.... Path down to the stream (pure enjoyment), back up the Wolfsschlucht (fantastically beautiful), along meadows to the quarry (very interesting), uphill to the Mosenberg (unfortunately no view, renovation work), down to the crater lake (enjoy peace and quiet), through the town to the maar (snack spot with a view), path down and back to the starting point. Coffee and cake as a reward.
As soon as photos come into play, Komoot is completely overwhelmed. 🤬
A weekend in the Volcanic Eifel (Manderscheid)...
Today a tour that I partially copied from Great Britten on track. It runs over long stretches along the Vulkanweg or the VulkaMaar path. We started in Manderscheid and we went through the village past the Maarmuseum over narrow paths into the valley. We wanted to cross the Kleine Kyll, but unfortunately the Germanenbrücke was washed away. The water was quite fast along the way, so we didn't even dare to cross over stones. We therefore had to turn back and look for another passage further upstream. From there it went steadily uphill to the volcanic garden and even higher to the Mosenberg. Very nice hut on the summit where we stopped for a rest. You could see Manderscheid in the distance, but we wanted to go further to the Windborner Krater See. Very idyllic! Further through Bettenfeld, where we bought cool drinks from a small shop. Down into the valley to the Meerfelder Maar. Around it once. There was a small path near the shore. At the end, however, you have to keep to the left because a gate blocked our way. Along the Meerbach upwards towards Manderscheid. We had to go part of the way along the road, then back on forest paths to the starting point. Exhausting but very beautiful. Oh and we had full rain protection with us, but not a drop came :).
