Prümtalweg Trail, Naturpark Südeifel
Highlight • Trail
"The path lives from the silence and seclusion in the Prümtal and the numerous waters that flow into it. The Prüm has dug itself deep into the rock here, creating a varied river landscape with terraces, breakthroughs and floodplain meadows."

"If you need medicine for your stressed soul, this hiking tour in the NaturWanderPark delux will give you a high dose of it. The licensed doctor here is the quiet, deserted Prüm valley. It is very impressive how deep the Prüm has dug into the slate rock over millions of years and has created a varied range of loops, openings, valley widenings and river terraces. A particularly beautiful example of this is the Ritscheberg, on whose mountain spur there are remains of a prehistoric ring wall. The slopes of the Prüm Valley offer a variety of forest pictures. The 300-year-old Napoleon oak tree owes its Names Napoleon Bonaparte, who came through the Prümtal in 1812 and is said to have taken a break here. But the route is not short on charming views."

View of the Prüm River
Highlight • Viewpoint
Unfortunately, the "Prümtalweg" does not lead to the river... 🧐
"The Prüm is a river in the Eifel with a length of 85 kilometers. It has its source in the Arenberg forest, flows through the Bitburg reservoir and flows into the Sauer near Minden. There are rapids between the resort town of Prümzurlay and Irrel. The Prüm has developed in this section of the river dug deep as a notched valley. In the course of this process, the slope became unstable, so that sandstone, marl and clay together with the rock rock initially dammed the Prüm about 10,000 to 20,000 years ago. After the clay was transported away by the flowing water, the boulders remained and led to narrow terrain steps of the river."
