Very steep but paved. You can reach high speeds. At the bottom, however, the road that leads up to the Gemündener Maar parking lot crosses directly. In summer, higher traffic volumes are to be expected here.

St. Martin's Chapel at Weinfelder Maar

Highlight • Lake

The Weinfelder St. Martin's Church is a chapel that was destroyed several times and rebuilt again and again and was probably already important for this area during Roman times. The story is told in some contradictory ways. The reproduction from the website below seems the most realistic to me: kulturdb.de/einobjekt.php?id=800

One more thing should be mentioned: The Weinfelder Maar is also called Totenmaar because the people of Schalkenmehren buried their dead in the cemetery near the chapel, and are still buried.

Weinfelder Maar

Highlight • Lake

Anyone who walks around the Weinfelder Maar inevitably encounters the small herd of goats and sometimes also the donkeys.

Gemündener Maar

Highlight • Lake

The smallest of the 3 maars is nestled nicely in the crater about 100m lower than the surrounding area. A beautiful circular path leads around the Maar, a transition to the other Maaren and a path up to the observation tower. Swimming in the outdoor pool and boating are possible here.
