As can be seen very well from the dark brown color of the water, the Rur rises in the High Fens, not far from the highest point in Belgium, the Signal de Botrange. After about 10 kilometers, it crosses the Belgian-German border between Küchelscheid and Kalterherberg. After another 155 kilometers, the Rur flows into the Meuse in the immediate vicinity of the Dutch city of Roermond.

The Rur is a Fagnarde river originating from 2 small streams which have their source in the Fagne Wallonne. It is also, but erroneously, named Roer or Rour. With a length of 165 kilometres, it also crosses Germany and ends its course in the Netherlands. It only flows in Belgium for a few kilometres. Its main tributaries in Belgium are the Schwarzbach and the Schwalm.
