Diving Station Rest Area at the Rursee

Highlight • Viewpoint

The erected benches offer a wonderful resting place and a beautiful view. Not only are the two benches new, but there are also two tables with benches on each long side in the immediate vicinity. Since Rursee divers get into or out of the water at this point, you shouldn't be surprised to see strange-looking "creatures" along the way. Incidentally, an SOS station located there is not suitable for rioting, IT CAN SAVE LIVES.

View of the Rursee

Highlight • Viewpoint

So you always have a fantastic view of Lake Rursee and the Eifel National Park up here. However, r rest in the middle of the street? Stop briefly and enjoy the view. If you want to take a break, you just have to drive 400 m in the direction of the town exit. There is a rest area with benches, table and great view.

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.

Heavy rain ride. Due to the storm air pressure, the altitude meters are not correct. Normally 340 meters.

Still done from Sunday. The round ran under the motto: stay tuned, no matter what the weather.

Deep ground, lots of puddles, e-bikers sitting on the things like they were on a... house and someone who challenged me to a race. 😎👍
