🌊 The Nims River The Nims is an idyllic river that flows through the Bitburg-Prüm district in the Eifel region: The Nims is an approximately 61 km long left tributary of the Prüm. It rises near Weinsheim and flows south, past towns such as Schönecken and Bitburg, before joining the Prüm below Irrel.

The attraction of everyone taking a picture as the king and queen is immense. I don't think anyone, young or old, will pass by without doing so.

A tranquil spot, framed by gnarled trees and rugged rock: This wooden bench sits enthroned on a natural viewing balcony above the valley. The view sweeps far across the green expanse of the Sauer Valley – protected only by a simple railing. Here, raw nature meets quiet grandeur – almost like a special kind of natural cinema. 🪵 Tip: Sit down and remain still for a moment. No photo can replace the atmosphere when the wind rustles through the branches and you can practically hear the forest breathing.
