Dyke between the Rur and Lake Barmen

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

On one side, the Rur River meanders through the meadows, while on the other side lies Lake Barmen. Geese and swans flit between them. Truly idyllic.

In winter, unfortunately, the place is not ideal for sunbathing or both. But in summer, I can really imagine it being a good place. The only question is how crowded it will be then.

Unfortunately it's a bit too high to photograph birds, but otherwise the view is beautiful.

A short wooden bridge takes you to the little island in the Kesselborngraben, which is right next to the Barmener Baggersee. Two benches make the small island the perfect resting place.
