From Wolfshügel at a height of 360 meters above sea level, the view extends in a northerly direction over the town of Einruhr and into the valley of the Rur dam. Some well-preserved half-timbered angled courtyards in an elaborate architectural style are worth seeing in the Einruhr resort. The place is ideal as a starting point for a visit to the nearby Eifel National Park.

The Rurtalsperre consists of the Obersee visible in the foreground and the main lake to the north. With a basin volume of around 200 million cubic meters, it is the largest of the 9 dams in the northern Eifel. The reservoirs are used to provide drinking and industrial water, flood protection, low water recharge and electricity generation. The main lake of the Rurtalsperre, the "Rursee", also offers many opportunities for recreational use.

The construction of the dam in the northern Eifel began around 1900. The decisive factor was the unbalanced flow of the Rur. Again and again, catastrophic floods caused great damage along the river. In the dry months in summer, however, the Rur carried so little water that households, industry and agriculture could not be adequately supplied.
