Starting point/parking area at the Irrel Waterfalls. The trail leads from the waterfalls to the largest hop-growing region in Rhineland-Palatinate, then to Holsthum and the Roman Villa. On the mountain spur, you'll discover the ruins of Prüm Castle and the Westwall Museum in the Katzenkopf Bunker.

Unfortunately, we found this route to be a disappointment. We have already walked the rock paths 1, 2, 3 and 6 and were thrilled, but this has nothing in common with the rock paths... At the beginning you can see the rocks above and after the Prümerburg you can no longer see any of the rocks until you is above …

Contrary to what was stated, we go this round in the opposite direction and save the rock formations as a highlight for the end of the tour.
On this hike it is particularly important to enjoy the wonderful views over the Prüm valley. First you go past the Prümerburg ruins, which are worth visiting. In the distance you can see …

I chose Prümzurlay as the starting point. However, I parked in the chapel road at the cemetery, because there is more space than in the settlement above the ruins.

A nice, varied tour:

Views from the ruins of Prüm Castle and the heights above Holsthum. At Holsthum, the extensive hop fields caught the eye - a rarity in the Eifel. …

Felsenweg 5 - Prümer Burg Irrel

This hiking trail in the NaturWanderPark deluxe begins at a truly exciting point: the "Irrel Waterfalls." Thousands of years ago, the Prüm River carved its way through fallen rocks here, creating a romantic river landscape with mighty boulders and countless rapids. But this landscape is history. Severe flooding after heavy rainfall in July 2021 …

The tour is in two parts because Komoot was a bit crazy with the first part.
