Nature
The Schalkenmehrener Maar was formed by volcanic activity approximately 20,000 to 30,000 years ago. The former eastern crater of the Schalkenmehrener Maar is covered by fen vegetation. The flora and fauna of the Weinfelder Maar are protected.
Hiking and trails
The Vulcano Trail is a circular route from Schalkenmehren through the Mürmes nature reserve. The 16-kilometer western Maar Route is the Schalkenmehren branch of the Vulcano Trail.
The Schalkenmehrener Maar circular route is an approximately three-kilometer-long, asphalted route with reduced barriers. It begins at an accessible parking lot near the tourist information office in Schalkenmehren and features a 65-meter-long bench with a view of the maar.
A footpath just under two kilometers long makes it possible to explore the Weinfelder Maar on foot.
History and culture
The Home Weaving Museum presents the history as well as the social and economic significance of the Schalkenmehren home weaving cooperative. It displays looms, spinning wheels, reels and handicrafts from six decades. The home weaving cooperative was founded in 1926 and produced Maar cloth until the 1980s.
The Weinfeld Chapel was formerly the parish church of Weinfeld, which was abandoned after an outbreak of plague in the 16th century. A church in Weinfeld was first mentioned in 1044, making it one of the oldest churches in the Eifel.
