From here you have a great view of the colorful stone cliffs of the Rur. This is a nature reserve that can be hiked. But the view is also great.

October 6, 2024,Tagesfahrt zum Rursee

From Manheim along the boring federal highway to Düren. From there with Wolle from Tetz to Schwammenauel. Met Heinz there and went around the lake together. Lovely day with nice people.

August 25, 2025,Von Heimbach rund um den Rursee und weiter Richtung Düren an der Rur entlang.

Today was a really nice ride. Everything worked out perfectly. We took the train from Aachen to Düren and then boarded the Rurtalbahn directly. The route was well-ridable, sometimes sandy, sometimes asphalt. There are several signposted restrooms and restaurants. Just riding through Düren to the train station was a bit stressful, with heavy traffic and the odd bike path layout.

June 24, 2024,Fahrradtour-Ruruferweg von Obermaubach bis Zerkall, Schmidt usw.

Today's tour took us along the Ruruferweg from Obermaubach to Zerkall. At the national gate we drove towards Nideggen-Brück towards the Hetzingen campsite, then we went uphill to Schmidt. Past the Scheidtbaum to Hubertushöhe with a beautiful view of the Rursee. From there we went downhill to Eschauel, Woffelsbach to Rurberg. In Rurberg we crossed the bridge and then went …

From Zerkall onwards, we were completely lost. Whether the bridge was actually closed, we'll never know. We opted for the route through the forest, which ultimately ended on the plateau. It was a very steep climb, difficult on an e-bike. Then it was all back down again. But there's a fantastic cake garden at the dam. Very nice people there. …

April 9, 2025,😎💪🏽 RurUfer Radweg Teil 2 von Hasenfeld nach Düren

The second day of our Rur Riverside Cycle Route was upon us. As an "extra loop," we decided to cycle around the lake a bit, which involved a steep climb. We had to tackle gradients of up to 10%. The view from the top was breathtaking! Our destination for the day was Düren.

The second day of our tour arrived.
Before heading towards Düren, we decided to travel along the right bank of the Rursee and Obersee lakes to the Urft Dam.
From here, we headed back to Heimbach via the Kermeter.
This trip was definitely worth it, as the view was magnificent.
We reached Düren via Nideggen and Kreuzau.
