Prum

Built around its Benedictine abbey, Prüm grew into a small administrative and service centre in the Eifel uplands of Rhineland-Palatinate. The River Prüm runs through the town before joining the Sauer farther west, placing it within the Moselle river basin. Founded in 721, Prüm Abbey became an important Carolingian institution; its former abbey church is now the Basilica of St Salvator, whose Baroque form dominates the centre. Woodland and rolling plateaus shape the surrounding Eifel, close to Germany’s border with Belgium. See how Prüm connects with the wider Eifel by browsing webcams nearby.
