Hiking
The Rur rises in the "Hohes Venn" nature park near Sourbrodt in Belgium at 660 m above sea level. NN. After about 15 km along the river, it reaches the German border south of Monschau and crosses the Eifel National Park. At river kilometer 39, the Rur reaches the Rur reservoir. In the further course, the Rur flows through the Aachen region and the districts of Düren and Heinsberg in North Rhine-Westphalia before it flows into the Maas after a total of almost 170 kilometers at Roermond (NL).

Hiking
In large parts of the Eifel the river has created deep river barn landscapes and here in Monschau / Montjoie this is combined with the picturesque old town.
