Lime sinter rocks on the western slope of the heath ridge between Holsthum and Peffingen.

The name stands for Eulenfelsen (huwel => owl, lay => rock).

One of the three stalactite caves in the Bitburg-Prüm district is located on the Holsthum/Peffingen border. It is a high calcareous sinter cliff through which a small stream flows.

A staircase leads up the Huwelslay stream.
At the bottom of the path, a little to the side, you can climb up the rock to a bench in the rock.

Access:
- Over the hiking bridge from the L4, Schankweiler junction (signposted Holsthumer Rundweg HR)
- From Holsthum, take the Oberdorf road
- From Pfeffingen, take the Huwelslay road
