Description

Enjoy the unmistakable beauty of the Eifel maars on this tour: the landmarks of the volcanic Eifel will enchant you with their unfathomable depths and atmosphere.


Not far from Mehren, you hop on your bike and start your exploration tour around the maars of the Eifel. First you plunge into the endless expanses of the Eifel volcanic nature. Here, light forests await you with a varied route that will make your biker's heart beat faster. The route takes you to the historic town of Ulmen, where you can take a short detour to the youngest maar in the Eifel, the Ulmener Maar, and the oldest maar, the Jungferweiher. The route then continues through the Üssbach valley to Schönbach. From there, you follow field and forest paths to the Eifel village of Darscheid near Daun. You then immerse yourself in the nature of the Vulkaneifel again. Forest passages accompany you to the outskirts of Daun before you gather your strength to tackle the climb up to the Mäuseberg. Once you have reached the top, you can cycle downhill around the Weinfelder Maar. You cycle over the Maarsattel and over the heights of the Schalkenmehrener Maar until you finish in Meerfeld.
