The Irreler Waterfalls are a beautiful natural attraction in the Eifel region of Germany. They consist of a series of rapids on the Prüm River, which winds its way through a maze of boulders. The boulders were created by massive landslides at the end of the last ice age, about 11,000 years ago. The Irreler Waterfalls are an ecologically valuable area and a natural monument.
You can visit the Irreler Waterfalls from a car park on the L4, just outside the village of Irrel1. There is a wooden footbridge over the water, which gives you a nice view of the flowing Prüm. Unfortunately, this bridge was damaged in the floods in July 2021 and the area is currently closed off. Work is underway to build a new suspension bridge, which is expected to be ready by the end of September 2023.

Unfortunately, one can no longer call it a waterfall; perhaps the name "Irrel Canyon" would be more appropriate? But regardless, it's a beautiful piece of nature, and nature is constantly changing. The damaged old wooden bridge has since been replaced by a suspension bridge.

The Irreler waterfalls are a beautiful gem right on the bike path. When the weather is nice, you can also go swimming here.
