Pumpkin Stand at Meerfelder Maar

Highlight • Structure

Pumpkins, potatoes, onions and more... Purchase directly from the field. That's not the only reason why it's worth it
the circumnavigation of the Meerfelder Maar.

The Maarsee in the Meerfelder Maar is not circular but a semicircle, because the southern part of the Maars is not filled with water. Here lies the small village Meerfeld within the Maars. Especially towards the north, the maar is bounded by a steep slope more than 150 meters high. The trail directly on the northern shore below the slope is very beautiful and should be committed.

Big Bang Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

The Cosmos Cycle Path is a cycle path that opens up part of the Vulkaneifel on an almost slope-free route.

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)

August 3, 2025,Eifel: Meerfelder Maar

The second mini-tour, on August 3rd, took us around the Meerfelder Maar. There are numerous tree stumps, walkways, benches, and even small huts. The entire area is a nature reserve, and you can feel it. 💚

The pretty outdoor swimming pool (with restrooms and changing rooms a bit off to the side) offers the opportunity to cool off. 💦 According …

So today after a long time we went on foot again.
Actually wanted to go to the Dauner Maaren, but the road we wanted to take there was closed due to a rally, so we decided to drive to the Meerfelder Maar.
The hiking trails are very well maintained and if it is too warm for someone, you can go …
