    Beautiful vantage point of the Eiserbach dam south of Rurberg – when the water level is high, the full dimensions of the structure are revealed.

      The dam is the Eiserbach Dam, completed in 1959 and built directly south of Rurberg. The 21 m high, 235 m long, and 7.5 m wide dam at its crest is an earth dam with a clay lining and a capacity of 90,000 m³. When the Rur Reservoir is high, it is also dammed on its upstream side.

      From here, you have a fantastic view of the Eiserbachsee natural outdoor swimming pool and the Rursee.
