Hetsche Maar

Gillenfeld

Hetsche Maar is the oldest maar in the Eifel and it is only 5 meters deep.
It is about 200 meters north west of the Dürren Maar and it is depply embedded in the surrounding fields, but visible form the street between Brockscheid and Gillenfeld. It is the smallest maar in the Eifel and created by one to two eruptions. Today it's silted up into a booy sedge.

By the way, Hetsche is the Gillenfeld colloquialism for the common toad, a reference to a local inhabitant

The castle has been destroyed many times, most recently in the Palatinate War of Succession in 1689 by French troops of Louis XIV, like most Eifel castles. Today only a ring wall and a basement tower with shooting ranges are preserved from the former, probably over 1000 years old Burganlage.

Maarkreuz Schalkenmehren

The Maar-cross above the Schalkenmehren Maar is worth the climb. The view at 535 metres above sea level over the region is incredible and at the same time very decelerating.
