Landesblick Meerfelder Maar

Meerfeld

Above the largest Maar funnel in the Eifel, the Meerfelder Maar, you can already see a viewpoint, the Landesblick, from far away. In front of it, you look down on at least 30,000 years of natural history, into a very large and wide Maar funnel. The Maar only occupies about half of the space in the Maartrichter. Nestled against the steep southern slopes of the other half is the idyllic village of Meerfeld, not only worth a look, its restaurants with their excellent cuisine will also spoil your palate.

Discover the "Landesblick" viewing platform, perched high up on the crater rim, which reveals an unforgettable view of the surrounding countryside and the Meerfeld maar. The effort of the climb to 515 metres above sea level is worth it, because the far-reaching view in all directions is fantastic. Benches below the tower are excellent for a picnic during a hike.

These hiking trails lead past the Meerfelder Maar: Heimatspur LW Lava Trail, VulkaMaar Trail, Geo-Route Maarmuseum Manderscheid, Volcano Trail (Eifelverein No. 13).

Castles of Manderscheid

The spa town of Manderscheid is most famous for two medieval castle ruins that stand directly opposite each other on steep mountain spurs not far from the town's alleyways. The massive complexes are separated only by the little Lieser river and a meadow, which in summer becomes a perfect place for a breather while hiking the Eifelsteig trail or for a family picnic with children. On a weekend in August, however, the castles and the meadow are ideal settings for a spectacular festival with quaint crafts, jugglers, jousting tournaments and minstrel singing. In Advent, the Manderscheid Castle Christmas lends the town a special magic. The freely accessible upper castle with its five-storey keep still looks martial today. The lower castle can be explored on guided tours - even at night - or on your own; it only remains closed in bad weather.
