"...We cycle along forest paths along the Rur and enjoy the morning peace in nature. As we pass Hammer-Simmerath, we discover another adventure station. Thanks to it, we learn that the place owes its name to the former hammer mill that was built 550 years ago. The hammer mill was powered by the Rur via a mill wheel..."
