From here you have a great view of the colorful stone cliffs of the Rur. This is a nature reserve that can be hiked. But the view is also great.

June 9, 2022,Rur: Zwischen Schlagstein und Rursee Do9.6.2022

This varied section of the RurUfer cycle path was easy to cycle today. A lot through forest, meadows and villages and also on busy roads and along the lake shore offered a pleasant mix. It was really great fun!

May 9, 2026,🇩🇪 Heimatrunde Düren - Heimbach

Today another one of our favorite tours. Whether on foot or by bike. Along the Rur and in its surroundings is always a pleasure. Tame or wild-romantic, the river makes its way through the Eifel. Left and right beautiful small old villages, protected by numerous castles.

The train I took from Heimbach was finally quite full. At the beginning in Heimbach you probably still have the opportunity to get a place for the …

Today at noon Heinz and Dag spontaneously stood in front of our door and took us on a tour. Great idea, so we didn't have to keep working in the garden. 🤣
We left here without a fixed destination and then decided on the way to eat the cream puffs in the cafe in Hausen, which Heinz had often praised. …
