    Here, in addition to a great view, there is a really good snack and you can take the boat back to Rurberg.

      The Urft dam is 58.5 m high, 226 m long and was built from 1900 to 1905 according to the plans of Prof. Otto Intze from local broken stone material as gravity dam. At the time of completion, the Urft dam was the largest dam in Europe.

        Great vantage point - but be careful where you step out - it is relatively steep downhill ⛰
