Natural monument "Prümer Tor"

In the eighties, the local council decided to expand the existing building and use it as a village community center. Since June 3rd, 1989 the village community center has been the center of the village life.

The former Premonstratensian monastery from the 12th century is located in the austere Eifel landscape, in the middle of the "High Fens" nature park, right on the German-Belgian border. The complex, which includes over 32 hectares of forest and a fish pond, is located on a rock plateau at the mouth of the Rur, which meanders in the valley between Kalterherberg and Eschweide, and the Ermesbach. It is 7 km to the picturesque town of Monschau.

The Museumslay is an open-air museum as a permanent exhibition with various testimonies of the hard work of the grandfathers on the former mine site.

The Bausenberg is still the best preserved horseshoe crater in the Eifel!There is a wide variety of different types of biotopes on the crater and its wall. The Niederzissen local mountain offers well over 500 plant species and an animal world with more than 5,000 different species that are protected by nature.

The former castle chapel on the small hill in Esch still reminds us of the Knights of Esch. Between the 11th and 16th centuries, the Knights of Esch were among the most important noble families in the Wittlich area. In addition, Esch is the birthplace of Eberhard von Esch, the founder of the pilgrimage site Klausen.
