The Obersee in Monschau offers beautiful views of the Rur Valley. The Eifel viewpoint "Grünenthal" near Monschau-Imgenbroich, at an elevation of 490 meters, offers a particularly panoramic view of the valley before the Rur flows into the reservoir. The Eifel viewpoints "Schöne Aussicht" and "Wolfshügel" in Simmerath-Einruhr also offer impressive perspectives of the lake and the surrounding landscape.

A beautiful stretch of path above the Rursee. In spring, foxgloves and broom bloom there.
