The name of the river has been written without an "h" since around 1900 to distinguish it from the Ruhr flowing to the Rhine; to differentiate one also speaks of the Eifel-Rur. The old spelling still appears in place names such as Erkensruhr and Einruhr. The river Roer is written in Dutch and French (but as pronounced in German), in Belgium (Wallonia) also Rour or Roule.

Be careful when crossing the dam between the flood meadow and the lake. Cracked split tempted to fall into the flood meadow. The THICK STONE BLOCKS ensure a pithy skull fracture or worse! Something should be M A C H E N ! :O((
