Heimbach Castle and the Violinist Statue

Highlight • Castle

Heimbach is a place directly on the Rur and only a few meters from the Rursee. The place impresses with its historic city center. Small cafes, restaurants and shops complete the whole thing. Also worth mentioning is the castle, which you should definitely visit. The castle itself is worth a visit, but the view from the castle of the Rur and the surrounding countryside is simply beautiful.

Violinist sculpture on the Rur Bridge in Heimbach

Highlight • Monument

Since 2008 "" The Geiger "" by Heimbach artist Luise Koett-Gärtner has held its place at the Rur Bridge.
The scarf is not one of them - someone has probably put it on his neck because of the cool night temperatures ...
But it fits somehow ;-)

Rursee Ferry Terminal

Highlight • Rest Area

The RURSEE was created at the end of the 1930s with the construction of the Schwammenauel dam. Since it can also be used for water sports - unlike the Obersee, which flows into this one near Rurberg and is a drinking water protection area - there are also a wide range of activities on the water. The most comfortable option is undoubtedly a round trip from Schwammenauel to Rurberg and back, although you can extend this and change to a second boat in Rurberg that sails the Obersee to Einruhr. A very nice alternative, however, is to only do one section by boat and combine it with a hike.

Rur Dam (Schwammenauel Reservoir)

Highlight • Monument

With a height of almost 70 meters, the dam is one of the highest in Germany and correspondingly large is the Rursee behind it. The dam was built mainly to regulate the water level of the river and to generate electricity. There is a snack bar right by the dam, which is a popular meeting place for motorcyclists, who are well represented here on sunny weekends.

Kermeter Climb from Rur Dam

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Driving along here on a sunny day is a pure holiday feeling. In winter, there's usually little activity, so you can enjoy the peace and quiet. The blue reservoir and the surrounding hills offer a unique panorama at any time of day or year.
