    Hiking

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

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

    Hiking

    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
