Nice place to rest in the Prüm valley with a view of the river. 😎
It's easy to miss, it's a few meters off the main path! 🧐

I missed the first 500m or so because I forgot to turn on the navigation system. 😊 Overall, a beautiful hike almost entirely through forest.

Quiet, unspectacular tour accompanied by the gurgling of the water in the background, switch off and enjoy the peace and quiet. Towards the end it gets tough with a gradient of up to 17% 😅

Stayed in the southern Eifel today because of the risk of thunderstorms, short, crisp tour 😁
