The Paulushofdamm separates the Obersee from the Rursee. From here you can hike or cycle left on the Rursee in the direction of the Schwammenauel dam or right on the Urftseerandweg to the Urftsee dam.

Hiking

The Paulusdamm near the town of Rurberg separates the (actual) Rursee from the Obersee. The latter begins at Einruhr, where the Rur - coming from Monschau or further up the Belgian Fens - flows into the Obersee. This is a valuable water protection area and supplies many people in the greater Aachen area with drinking water. The Rursee below is also used by many water sports enthusiasts. The banks of the Obersee and Rursee are partly part of the Eifel National Park.
