Small gastronomy right on the lake. Nice seating overlooking the lake. Drinks and food are not overpriced. Optimal location to take a break.

The path was laid out in a very balanced way through varied forests and open fields and, in addition to the idyllic Prümtal and the Bitburg reservoir, also offers many geologically interesting sections and numerous impressive views.

We started at the Bitburg reservoir. The weather was sunny with a few fair-weather clouds. We walked around the lake and then climbed up to a bench with a view of Hamm Castle, which we didn't get to see up close on this hike. We continued uphill, following narrow paths with lots of vegetation. Some sections were overgrown, and we …

The trail is well signposted, but we took two short wrong turns, but luckily we realized it pretty quickly. At the beginning of the trail, …

Right at the beginning it goes uphill. Up to the summit cross with an incredible view into the Eifel and much further. You roam the Islekes on narrow paths and discover the Prüm in deep blue. You have to enjoy this varied path and pause. Again and again and sometimes on a steep climb. Interested parties, the heath and hedgerows …
