Stausee-Prümtalroute
Biersdorf am See
The Stausee-Prümtal (reservoir-Prüm valley) route offers everything that makes hikers’ hearts beat faster - and not only because of the occasional steep climb! A notable attraction is the Bitburg reservoir with its water sports opportunities. Framed by radiant red sandstone rocks, the reservoir promenade offers an opportunity for a leisurely stroll. The Prüm valley with its attractive scenery is characterised by wonderful river bends, or “meanders”. The area is home to beavers and mouflons. The idyllic tranquillity is interrupted only by the almost musical burbling of the Prüm itself. The Hammmer Büsch presents itself as an open hillside wood with a wonderful view out onto the Schloss Hamm palace. The climb up the Burbesberg hill is the high point of the tour in the truest sense of the word. From here, the view stretches out to the Erbeskopf and Idarkopf hills in Hunsrück.
