Here the Erft "accelerates" again and flows quickly into the Rhine, where its water disappears after just a few meters in the water of the Rhine. When paddling in winter you can clearly feel the drop in temperature at the transition from Erft to the Rhine water.

After 106.6 km, the Erft flows into the Rhine near Grimlinghausen in a very unspectacular and very exciting way. The Erft rises in the Ahr Mountains in the Euskirchen district at an altitude of 527 m above sea level. NN and flows out at 31 m above sea level. NN, that's about 500 m difference in altitude and three district towns that the Erft has to overcome on its way to the mouth. The river on its way is densely vegetated and provides a habitat for many animals and birds. The vegetation is lush and diverse. People have a lot of fun paddling and fishing. Many works of art are placed on the paths along the river. Over the course of many years, the earth was straightened out and later renatured again in order to avoid flooding.

Man has learned a lot from the river and is now trying to adapt to it.

"... The Erft has its source near Nettersheim in the Eifel, flows on the left side of the Rhine, is almost 105 kilometers long and flows into the Rhine near Neuss.

In fact, the Erft changed its course several times over time, partly due to human hands. Among other things, the advance of brown coal mining required the river to be relocated several times: today the mouth of the Erft is in Neuss-Grimlinghausen, right next to the sports harbor there.

The point at the mouth of the Erft is very popular with anglers. In addition to cyclists, there are walkers who stop off at the bars on the banks of the Rhine and enjoy the view of the Cardinal Frings Bridge, the Düsseldorf television tower and the beautiful panorama of the NRW state capital. ..."
