Bench with a View of the Rur near Jülich

Highlight • Viewpoint

The left side of the Rur is really nice to cycle along the river. Sometimes it is a leisurely river and sometimes it even looks a little wilder (at the numerous weirs).

Rur

Highlight • River

In this section you can already speak of the Rur. It has slowly reached the dimensions of a river. When you think back to the upper part of the Rur, where it was a river, you do not know where all the water comes from.

Rurdorf Weir

Highlight • Structure

"The large Linnicher Rur weir was built in 1875/76 according to the plans of the ingenious hydraulic engineer Professor Otto Ludwig Intze (1843 - 1904). It served to dam the Rur water just before the Linnicher Mühlenteich branch off, so that it had enough water to drive it even on dry summer days of the mills in Linnich and Brachelen.Today the weir is a striking monument of local and regional economic and technological history.
The weir had - further down the Rur - previous structures made of wooden poles, fascines and rock embankments, which were repeatedly damaged or washed away during floods and ice drifts. With the completion of the new weir, the mill pond and the adjacent businesses were protected against flood damage by locks.
The large Rur weir with a slight bend against the current is one of Professor Hintze's earliest works. He designed many dams and other spectacular engineering structures across Europe, such as the generation of electricity in the Art Nouveau power plant in Heimbach with water from the Urfttalsperre, which he also planned above the Rursee, which was created much later.
After being damaged in World War II, the weir was rebuilt to its present form."

Highlight • Lake

The Adolfo lake is located on the Rur cycle path. The lakeshore is natural and you can only get to the lake in a few places.

Weir on the Rur

Highlight • River

Here the Rur shows her wild side. A nice place to drop down and listen to the sound of the river. Also very popular for rafting and kayaking.
