The Wurm rises from the source horizon at the foot of the Düsbergkopf, an elevation in the Aachen Forest, south of Aachen, near the B 57 near Steinebrück (Diepenbenden), and flows north into the Aachen Basin. From their sources at around 260-280 m above sea level. The Wurm runs with an average flow rate of 1.4 m³/s down to the Rur, into which it flows 53 kilometers north of Heinsberg near Kempen at an altitude of only 32 m above sea level. The water depth there is about one meter and the width about eight meters. The surface catchment area is around 354 square kilometers. The Eifel-Rur Water Association (WVER) is responsible for the Wurm.

It's also nice on the Wurm, only the Oberbruch cycle path to Heinsberg is bumpy. The concrete slabs often have very different heights at the joints. There is caution.
