Our holiday home "Rühlen" is very quiet, but centrally located in Auw near Prüm.
The village is beautifully located in the north-western Schneifel foothills.
Surrounded by forests, valleys and picturesque streams.
From here the view extends well into Belgium, but the view also turns eastwards, where the entire Schneifel ridge with the "Schwarzer Mann," the second highest peak of the Schneifel, becomes visible.
Because of its location and landscape, certainly in one of the most beautiful spots of the German-Belgian High Eifel.
Opposite the house there is a restaurant with an adjoining playground.
Another restaurant is located in the village, other restaurants e.g. the log cabin "Zum Schwarzen Mann", but also the restaurants in Bleialf, Prüm, Olzheim and in the Belgian region are nearby.
The same applies to grocery stores, pharmacies and doctors who can be reached quickly on both the German and Belgian sides.
There are numerous destinations for excursions in sunny but also in variable weather.
During hikes in the North Eifel Nature Park and in the High Fagnes there are about 160 km of marked paths, that you can set off on straight from here.
Cycle paths exist in different directions and begin only 10 km away.
The Eifel-Ardennes cycle path in conjunction with the Belgian Ravel is a picturesque route with viaducts, and the Kylltal cycle path also has its sights and extends as far as the Moselle.
Guided walks along the West Wall with its bunker ruins, smuggling tours and walks with the Nebelfrau (Lady of the Mist) are very interesting and varied.
Also nearby are the Bleialf visitor mine and the abbey town Prüm with its beautiful basilica.
Bundled highlights can be found in Belgium/Losheim with Krippana, a year-round nativity scene exhibition. The exhibitions Steinwelten and Eurotechnica are right next door.
For the smaller guests the Eifel Zoo is not far from here.
In winter, skiers and tobogganers will also get their money's worth, the "Wolfsschlucht" has very attractive offers, including downhill slopes with a snow cannon and cross-country skiing tracks.
In Manderfeld/Belgium there is a ski rental with cross-country skiing tracks .
Larger cities are around our village in all directions, easily accessible, in a star pattern.
Trier (80 km), Cologne (105 km), Koblenz (120 km), Aachen (110 km), Liège (105 km), Luxembourg (78 km) and up to the Moselle there are about 65 km.
