There's a small cafe in a train carriage, a great place for a coffee stop. Unfortunately, I could only pay in cash.

The beaver valley mentioned here is actually the Alfbachtal, but that doesn't change the fact that beavers live here and that you cycle through beautiful nature.

The memorial with its many thank you plaques is always a popular place of worship. Every year on a May Sunday there is a procession from the parish church to the Marian column. In 1998 the parish community celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Marian Column with several hundred believers. In recent years, the taller trees have increasingly blocked the view of the Marian Column. In 2004, the Board of Trustees of today's Gerhard Faber Foundation took on the task of redesigning the entire complex. In cooperation with the local population, the square around the Marian Column was completely renovated. Source: https://www.naturpark-suedeifel.de/a-mariensaeule

The Marian column stands high above Waxweiler

Worthwhile cycle path on a former railway line with a very nice view

Very impressive with a great view of Waxweiler.

The Prüm has dug itself deep into the rock here, creating a varied river landscape with terraces, breakthroughs and floodplain meadows." https://www.naturwanderpark.eu/wanderwege/a-pruemtalweg "If you need medicine for your stressed soul, this hiking tour in the NaturWanderPark delux will give you a high dose of it. The licensed doctor here is the quiet, deserted Prüm valley. It is very impressive how deep the Prüm has dug into the slate rock over millions of years and has created a varied range of loops, openings, valley widenings and river terraces. A particularly beautiful example of this is the Ritscheberg, on whose mountain spur there are remains of a prehistoric ring wall. The slopes of the Prüm Valley offer a variety of forest pictures. The 300-year-old Napoleon oak tree owes its Names Napoleon Bonaparte, who came through the Prümtal in 1812 and is said to have taken a break here. But the route is not short on charming views."

Beavers[1] (Castoridae) are a family in the order of rodents (Rodentia). They are - after the capybaras - the second largest living rodents on earth.[2] The family now consists of a single genus, Castor, which includes two species: the European beaver (Castor fiber), also called the Eurasian beaver, and the Canadian beaver (Castor canadensis). Some zoologists consider the Canadian beaver to be a subspecies of the European beaver; This view is contradicted by the different number of chromosomes (48 for Europeans, 40 for Canadians). According to Heidecke (1986), eight subspecies are distinguished. The European beaver is particularly protected in Europe by the Habitats Directive (Appendixes II and IV).[3] In Germany it is not subject to hunting law according to the Federal Hunting Act. The hunting of the Canadian beaver is regulated differently in Canada and the various states of the USA. In some cases, beavers can be hunted or caught there.
