    Hiking

    Here, in addition to a great view, there is a really good snack and you can take the boat back to Rurberg.

    Hiking

    The Urft dam is 58.5 m high, 226 m long and was built from 1900 to 1905 according to the plans of Prof. Otto Intze from local broken stone material as gravity dam. At the time of completion, the Urft dam was the largest dam in Europe.

    Hiking

    The Rursee is a real highlight in the Eifel. There are interesting paths on and around the lake vile.
    At the weekend it can be at Rurberg, Schwammenauel. the Urft dam and Einruhr can get a little fuller. But that goes quickly and there are wonderful views of the lake and the Eifel landscape.
