Cycling

The dam is located on the Rursee near Heimbach and Hasenfeld. This view of the water and the surrounding area is simply wonderful at any time of year.

The Heimbach power plant on the Urft dam was put into operation as early as 1905. The RWE Industrial Museum is located in the power plant.
