Hiking

The Rursee is always worth a trip, be it to take a trip across the lake with the Rurseeschifffahrt, rent a boat and drive it yourself, or take the "Lok" to Heimbach and enjoy the old town there

The Feriendorf Resort Eifeler Tor is located directly behind the dam. Very nice apartments with a great view of the Rur Valley

Very impressive building. Right next to it you can see a turbine and the monument to the workers who died during the construction of the dam.
