A natural monument of extraordinary fascination: a narrow gorge with metre-high rock faces, cool and dark. Cracks and crevices, weathered and overgrown with mosses and lichens.

The Prümtal valley near Holsthum is home to the only hop-growing region in Rhineland-Palatinate.

Hop farmer and beer sommelier Andreas Dick offers farm tours, beer tastings and brewing courses, and the hop barn can be hired for parties and celebrations.
