    The RurUfer cycle path is a cycle path that runs along the Rur for around 180 kilometers. It begins near the Rur springs at the highest elevation in Belgium, the Botrange in the High Fens, and leads to the mouth of the Maas in Roermond, the Netherlands. In between, the route runs mostly on German territory. At Kalterherberg, the path crosses the Belgian-German border and runs through Monschau on the Obersee and the Rur dam to Heimbach. From there, it continues north through Nideggen and Kreuzau through the Düren district and then through the Heinsberg district. Behind the Effelder Waldsee, the cycle path crosses the German-Dutch border. It ends at the mouth of the Rur in Roermond.

    The route runs almost exclusively on separate cycle and farm paths. The RurUfer cycle path is part of the NRW cycle network and is signposted with the typical red and white signposts. On the sections in Belgium and the Netherlands, junction-based signage is used.

      Comfortable seat at the Rur whitewater stage. I could stay here for hours...

        Three countries - one river: The RurUfer cycle path
        Experience cycling close to nature on the newly designed RurUfer cycle path between the source of the Rur in the High Fens near Botrange (Belgium) and the mouth of the Maas near Roermond (Netherlands).
        A courageous first step on the pedals, a fresh breeze blowing around your nose and the journey begins. When cycling on the more than 170 km long RurUfer cycle path, you follow the turbulent waters of the Rur from its source in the High Fens near Botrange (Belgium) to its confluence with the Meuse near Roermond (Netherlands).

        The route is as varied and formative as the watercourse and the history of the Rur itself. The tour starts in the middle of unspoilt nature at the Belgian Signal de Botrange and leads over the High Fens to the idyllic Eifel town of Monschau. With its famous half-timbered houses and many enchanted alleys, the town of cloth makers invites you to rest and explore (rurufer-radweg.de/uebersicht/).
