Hiking

Currently, the Rurtalsperre does not have that much water due to the hot summer and low rainfall.

Mountain biking

Superb stretch of water whose cycle banks are worth the trip, the detour and the return ;-)

Hiking

Very nice tour around the Rursee with an excellent view of the lake from different positions. The villages of Woffelsbach and Rurberg are really beautiful with lots of gastronomy.
