October 2, 2024,🇩🇪 Von den Irreler Wasserfällen bis hoch zur Prümerburg – Schöner Felsen Runde von Prümzurlay

The masses of water not only destroyed the covered hiking bridge, but also shifted entire boulders and caused enormous landslides.
The riverbed was greatly changed and a sea of stones and sand, as well as uprooted trees and flotsam, was left behind.
But the place has lost none of its fascination.
You often read and hear that the "Irrel Waterfalls", …

If you fritter away the beautiful Saturday almost completely, then it has to be a small but fine round in the end.

Shortly before the bridge to the castle, I went down the stairs past the small cave. The staircase looks old and neglected. It is advisable to choose your steps carefully when descending. Nevertheless, the piece is part of …

October 23, 2022,23.10.2022: Herbstliche Runde von Irrel über den Felsenpfad zur Prümerburg

After what felt like an eternity, it finally worked out again today with a round together with sister, brother-in-law & Wauzili.
Small but nice! 🤩

Start / finish: Westwall Museum Panzerwerk Katzenkopf above Irrel

Round over the rock path along the upper edge of the rock to Prümerburg, then back at the foot of the rocks.

Today we want to visit the new suspension bridge at the Irrel Waterfalls. We skipped it on our last hike at the Devil's Gorge.
We're starting from the hiking car park on the Irreler Straße between Prümzurley and Irrel; it's not far from here.
The Irrel Waterfalls (as they are popularly called) are actually just rapids. The rapids were formed …

There is visible progress on the suspension bridge.
Still locked.
The nearby car park is a good starting point for today's round.
It is quite possible that this will be repeated soon.

Railings on the edge of the slope have all been renewed.

They still have to serve for the 4th tour!

Anne, Tina, Olli and I start from the parking lot, Westwall Museum Irrel, after a short ascent and descent, walk a shady forest path to the ruins of Prüm Castle, enjoy the view there and then walk above …

July 9, 2021,Von Irrel zur Burgruine Prüm / Prümzurlay

Looking for a nice short tour for the last day I found this castle ruin which is really worth seeing! Everything is freely accessible, so that you can go up the tower, down into the basement and onto the gallery. The ruin is well preserved, but at the same time has an enchanted charm - also due to the fact …
