Bench with a View of the Rur near Jülich

Highlight • Viewpoint

The left side of the Rur is really nice to cycle along the river. Sometimes it is a leisurely river and sometimes it even looks a little wilder (at the numerous weirs).

There is currently a lot of construction going on along the RUR in Jülich. Cycle traffic is therefore being diverted onto the busy road several times.

August 30, 2025,🚴‍♂️ Der Dürener Wochenmarkt ist was ganz Besonderes 🌤🌥🌤

Today, I went with friends from Jülich to the weekly market in Düren. I'd never been there before, so my expectations weren't particularly high. But I was proven wrong, because the market was really big, with many stalls and a high-quality selection. It was also well attended, so the business people, both at the market and in the immediate vicinity, …

Mostly along the Rur (without h). Beautiful bike route in a convoy of 15 people. Therefore, more smaller photo breaks were unfortunately impossible, otherwise the connection to the troop would have been lost. Worthwhile route. Gladly again. And something else very important! If your pants burst, like mine (where a tear looks too sexy), I recommend the well stocked jeans …

The Rur cycle path from Düren to Jülich and back has always been the plan. 🌻
And since today is summer 🌤️, this plan was implemented.
And what can I say, just great 👍. I hadn't imagined it to be so nice and easy to drive.
I can only recommend.

August 10, 2024,65/24: Entlang der Rur Teil 2 : von Düren Richtung Jülich

After the terrible football game ⚽ (lost 3:1 without a hint of a chance 😡) the day should end with something nice.
So I got the bike back from the car and headed along the Rur in the other direction.
What can I say, ... just as MEGA beautiful!!!
With a detour to the viewing point of the brown coal …
