    The Rursee is a picturesque spot nestled in the pristine nature of the Eifel National Park. Surrounded by a unique landscape, it offers perfect opportunities for leisure and relaxation. Here are some highlights:

    Bicycle tour around the Rursee: A 27-kilometer route runs all the way around the lake. Hikes: The lake can also be explored on foot. A classic hike leads along the shore. For more challenging hikers, there are routes over the wooded hills with impressive views of the lake landscape.
