"...The tranquil town with half-timbered houses is located directly on the lake. Here you can stroll along the promenade or stop off at one of the cafés with a view of the Rursee. There is also a pier for the Rursee shipping company. You can then take the boat to Rurberg and the Urft dam..."

Cycling

Caution: The Obersee lakeside path is only partially suitable for cyclists. The "Not accessible" sign means that bikes must be pushed uphill for a short distance just before reaching the Paulushof Dam: the short, serpentine section is steep and crisscrossed with rocks. It's only a short stretch; we managed it with two people. However, if you're using a motor or aren't so strong, it's better to take the roadside route. It's perfectly doable on foot.
