Obermaubach Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The reservoir is particularly popular with water sports fans. Here you can paddle, row or go pedal boats. There are also some surfers and sailors on the way.

Boats can be rented from the boat rental at the dam. The prices start from 5 euros.

Obermaubach Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

A truly lovely spot for a break. From here you have a wonderful view over the reservoir. For a light snack or a delicious coffee, I recommend Café Fink near the bridge. Listening to the sound of the fish ladder, enjoying a good slice of cake, and a cup of coffee makes for a very relaxing experience.

Half-timbered Houses in Abenden

Highlight • Settlement

The name of the place does not go back to the term "evening", but to "An den Benden", which means "beautiful lush meadows". Abenden lies between two villages through which the Rur also flows. To the north is Brück and to the south is Blens. It is more likely that today's place name goes back to the term “Aubenden”. A "Au" is a "meadow by the river". It is well known that particularly lush grass grows in meadows near the river because of the constant moisture. Even in Celtic times, river meadows were reserved exclusively for livestock farming. Because of the risk of flooding, floodplains were neither cultivated nor built on more than 2,000 years ago.

View of the Buntsandstein cliffs near Abenden

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.
