"Priestermord" Ulmen

"Priestermord" Ulmen

Ulmen

Experience Point No. 3 on the "Hexen, Henker & Halunken" hike takes you around kilometer 1.5 to another dark site – the scene of gruesome crimes.

Here, near the "Wingertstälchen," two additional murders of priests occurred in 1673 and 1755. That priests became the targets of greedy and quarrelsome perpetrators is unusual and adds an eerie undertone to this place. Today, however, there is nothing to fear – this spot is now a peaceful residential area, and the dark days are long gone.

The "Hexen, Henker & Halunken" hike continues from here along the road before leading back into nature.

Schalkenmehrener Maar

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!
