June 12, 2022,Gruppenwanderung an der Rur entlang ab Barmener See. Sonntag, 12 Juni 2022

With "Hiking in the Euregio" we took a wonderful, sun-kissed walk from Barmen today. The route was explored by Basti, who unfortunately could not be there himself. There were 10 of us and we walked from the parking lot on Seestraße around Lake Barmen and then along the Ruruver to Linnich. There we went - with some scrambling - over …

June 6, 2022,Barmener- Flossdorfer Ruraue

The Rurauen between Jülich-Barmen and Linnich are always worth a round. The Rur meanders in many sections through a typical alluvial forest. Our round also went partly through the accompanying field landscape on the edge of the floodplains. The orphaned Kellenberg Castle arouses curiosity but is well secured and can only be seen from the outside. Whether the Prixenhof with …

Today, the hiking group walked around Barmen Lake starting from Barmen.
In between, the route led along the Rur for a while to Linnich and back to Barmen.
To finish, there was a big picnic at the baseball field, where we could also watch a baseball game live.
It was another beautiful hiking Sunday. 😃🥾🌳🌲

Today I did a little round in Barmen, which should have looked different. There were quite a few nettles on the narrow paths and at the point where I turned back there was unfortunately no progress if you didn't want to walk through shoulder-high nettles. Then the little beaten path ended. But it's a beautiful area there. I will definitely …

Beautiful hike around Lake Barmen and through the Rurauen. Very nice shady paths, but also plenty of sun.
Unfortunately, there was a way back at komoot that no longer exists in real life. Therefore we had to take a small detour and a little more road.
But still highly recommended

August 21, 2022,Runde zwischen Jülich + Linnich: Rurmäander + Barmener Baggersee

Today's tour started in Jülich-Broich and initially led along the Barmener Baggersee. Here we mainly walked a narrow path along the shore - fantastic. Later we followed the Kesselborngraben and even spotted a kingfisher (unfortunately it was too far away for a photo with the smartphone).
