Inde River Trail

Highlight • Trail

The Inde is a 54.1 km long tributary of the Rur. The source of the Inde lies in the Hohen Venn in the Eifel between the Raeren core town and the Petergensfeld district in the Perschei corridor. After 2.4 km, it meets Wallonia in Belgium and North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany and forms the Belgian-German border for 1.3 km of streams. Behind the Jülich district of Kirchberg, it flows into the Rur, which then flows into the Meuse.

The old Inde bridge of the Weisweiler briquette factory is closed today and tells a long story about the industrial culture.
In 1908 the future trade union was founded to set up a briquette factory in Weisweiler. The aim was to process the lignite mined in the future pit.
In 1909, the future trade union applied for the establishment of a siding across the Inde to Weisweiler station for the transport of briquettes and building materials. Maschinenbau AG Union Essen was commissioned to manufacture the iron truss bridge for crossing the Inde.

Danger! The bridge displayed in komoot was damaged during the flood disaster in July 2021 and had to be demolished. It is no longer possible to cross the Inde here.

Haus Palant

Highlight • Castle

Although Palant Castle was only first mentioned in documents in 1456, historians see the property as the starting point for the creation of Weisweiler, as the complex probably dates back to an old Franconian royal estate.
In 1323, Reinhard von Palant was first mentioned in a document as a vassal of the von Cuyck family.
