There is currently a lot of construction going on along the RUR in Jülich. Cycle traffic is therefore being diverted onto the busy road several times.

As part of the ecological redesign of the Rur, three main focuses were set:

In order to create a dynamic flow, a considerably widened channel bed was created within the historic flood embankments in accordance with the original state. Flat, unpaved bays, shifting gravel banks and islands offer a variety of natural habitats for animals and plants.

To create a biotope network, the formerly artificially created foreland was removed down to the gravel base and individual willow bushes were planted on the areas and lean, only occasionally mown meadows and fallow land were created.

"...Jülich is particularly known for its impressive fortress. In the 16th century, it was considered the most powerful and modern in all of Europe. Even today, the citadel with the ducal residence palace dominates the cityscape..."
