Especially if you visit the GesundLand Vulkaneifel in summer, a detour to the Schalkenmehren Maar is a must. Located directly at the village of the same name and opposite the Weinfelder Maar, the Schalkenmehrener Maar is one of the three Dauner Maars and offers a wonderful backdrop for an extended walk or an extensive hike. If you look closely, you can see that the Schalkenmehren Maar was once a double maar, formed by volcanic activity around 20,000 to 30,000 years ago. But the tuffs of the western maar filled up the eastern maar funnel, so that nothing can be seen of the second maar today, except for the fen vegetation that has spread in this area. Take a little discovery tour and observe numerous animal and plant species along the way!

The former castle chapel on the small hill in Esch still reminds us of the Knights of Esch. Between the 11th and 16th centuries, the Knights of Esch were among the most important noble families in the Wittlich area. In addition, Esch is the birthplace of Eberhard von Esch, the founder of the pilgrimage site Klausen.

The castle represents the landmark of our place. A walk there is always worthwhile. From here you can enjoy an impressive view of Schönecken and its surroundings.

The guild fountain in Adenau features the three Adenauer guilds: leatherworkers, blacksmiths, and wool weavers.
