The Prümtal valley near Holsthum is home to the only hop-growing region in Rhineland-Palatinate. This is where the high-quality Siegel hops grow, which, along with Hallertau hops, are an essential component of Bitburger beer. 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.
The Gallo-Roman cemetery near the road (between Wasserbillig and Lellig) was discovered in 1970. The finds of the Gallo-Roman grave can be dated to between 75 and 100 AD, and suggest that those buried here belonged to a rich family.
A gem of baroque architecture in the middle of the forest: the small 18th century Marien pilgrimage church on the Schankweiler Höhe with the adjoining hermit's dwelling is a much-visited destination not only for pilgrims and is definitely worth a visit.
