A rather unspectacular place is the source of the Eifel river PRÜM (the name is mainly known from the town of the same name, which even had an imperial abbey in the Middle Ages), but here at the beginning of the river's life it is only a very small trickle.

This is where the Prüm rises before it flows into the Sauer after about 95 kilometers in Minden as the largest tributary. It is interesting that the source of the Prüm is almost exactly on the same longitude as its mouth. Thus, the estuary is just south of the source. Source: dewiki.de/Lexikon/Pr%C3%BCm_(River)
