The varied circular tour of approx. 14 km offers tips and information about the special features around the climatic health resort of Prüm at 10 stations.
Deep forests, wide views, geology and history - the Prümer Land Tour 1 around Prüm is an eventful tour in a beautiful landscape. The start and finish of the approximately 14 km long circular tour is the Prümer Land Nature Park Center in Prüm.
A short stop here is worthwhile: information on the topics of geology, forest and water is vividly presented in the nature park center, fossils from Devonian times, interesting facts about the forest and its creatures complete the offer.
A particular highlight of the tour is the St. Salvator Basilica in Prüm. Founded in the 8th century as a Benedictine abbey of the Franks, it is also the final resting place of Emperor Lothar, grandson of Charlemagne.
Information and explanations about the geology of the Prüm limestone basin can be found on the geological trail, which leads through a beautiful wooded area. A subsequent visit to the Sklupturenpark in Niederprüm is worthwhile at any time of year.
A very special view of the St. Salvator Basilica can be enjoyed from the Calvary with its basalt cross, which stands on the edge of a huge blasting funnel. The explosion of a former Westwall bunker filled with explosives on July 15, 1949, shortly after the end of the war, once again severely destroyed the town.
In the Tettenbusch, a mystical forest area, lies the Celtic ring, two ramparts of the Celtic castle are crossed by our path. Small paths around the castle show the extent of the ring, which served as a base and symbol of power for the Celts and was used as a refuge with new structures in the Middle Ages.
Forests, enchanted places, sweeping views and the history of many centuries characterize this circular tour.
