Eiserbachsee Natural Swimming Area

Highlight • Beach

Don't forget your swimwear, it's worth it. The lake is always a bit colder than outdoor pools, but as I said - it's worth it.

Ridge Trail in Eifel National Park

Highlight • Trail

It's only a short section, but trails over a ridge are always spectacular. The trail is not mapped (as of 07/2024), but it's there and can't be missed.

At this point you cross the Eiserbachdamm near Rurberg, which dams the water of the small Eiserbach tributary. You have a great view of the reservoir on one side and the Rursee on the other.
