Near Irrel in Germany but just across the border of Echternach in Luxembourg, you can find the Devil's Gorge (Teufelschlucht). First you cross the small river Prüm. The bridge has a roof, so you can cross dry at any time. |
After a bit over 1 kilometre starts the Devil's Gorge. It is formed by big rocks, that are fallen when the Prüm eroded too big parts of the soft rock away. The remaining rocks leave a walking trail open, with impressive walls on both sides. |

The Felsenweiher should be a reserve for a lot of very rare plants and animals. We did see a lot of animals, but we never knew mosquitoes were rare. |
We walked further after the Devil's Gorge. After some time we came along this place: the Felsenweiher. Around the little lake there are footpaths and steps. A bit natural and a bit of mankind. |

But not everything here is beautiful. We came across this big quarry, a scar in the landscape. However, if we hadn't been curious about the noise coming from behind some shrubbery, we probably wouldn't even have noticed it. |
