Please check local regulations for: Nationalpark Eifel
When the dam was built at the beginning of the 20th century, the Urftsee was the largest reservoir in Europe. The reservoir lies entirely within the Eifel National Park, where nature is allowed to run free in many places. There is a place to stop for refreshments right next to the dam. A special feature for Germany is that the Rursee is located right at the foot of the dam.

Great view of the Urfttalsperre. In the restaurant on the wall you can eat and drink great.
