    Along the Oleftalsperre there are always huts where you can take shelter if you are surprised by storms. This still offers a beautiful view over the reservoir.

      The small refuge offers welcome shelter in the event of an unexpected rain shower. In addition, you have a beautiful view of the Oleftalsperre. So a nice place for a longer break.

        The Oleftalsperre is a drinking water reservoir for the region. It was built shortly after the Second World War, among other things to be able to cover the increasing water consumption of the cities of Aachen and Düren. This highlight is about four kilometers from the parking lot at the barrier wall.
