    The Wurm is a 53 km long river and flows into the Rur. The name is said to come from the time of the Celts and means something like "warm", since the worm also comes from thermal springs.

    At this point, the Wurm shows small rapids.

    Although the Wurm is largely channeled, it flows quite quickly in places, making for a picturesque sight.

    The Wurm is said to have received its name from the Celts who settled in the Aachen Basin. It is explained as a derivation of the word warm, which refers to the thermal springs from which the Wurm is partly fed (see also derivation of the city name of Würselen). However, there is no conclusive evidence for this derivation.
