View of the Rursee

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Rursee is called Obersee here, but it is still beautiful and the view is also wonderful.

Obersee at Einruhr

Highlight • Lake

The non-navigable part of the Obersee is a little out of sight, but it is still a beautiful piece of nature. On the way from Obersee to Monschau, the cycle path first passes it.

The southern end of the Obersee is embedded in the High Fens-Eifel Nature Park. There are also several nature reserves in the Rur valley and the side valleys. Here you can cycle through pure nature and find many rare plants and observe animals.

Rur Valley Trail in Naturpark Hohes Venn-Eifel

Highlight • Trail

The RurUfer cycle path is a long-distance cycle path that runs from the source in the High Fens near Botrange in Belgium through the Eifel to the mouth of the Maas near Roermond in the Netherlands. You cycle for over 170 kilometers through hilly forests and idyllic landscapes, always following the Rur. Along the way you pass through many villages worth seeing and there is always something interesting to discover. This makes the RurUfer cycle path a very varied cycling experience: netreisetagebuch.de/rurufer-radweg

Forest trail along the Rur

Highlight • Trail

The bike path on the Rur from Monschau to the Rursee is a bit muddy in rainy weather, but it is beautiful. Often difficult to drive on with normal bikes.

Monschau Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Shortly before reaching the old town, there is a top vantage point on the corpse alley. Nicely located, with a wonderful view of the evangelical church and the Red House, among other things.
