ハイムバッハの天然記念物・トップ20

One of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful vantage point on the Rursee.

The nature reserve knows how to come up with great rock formations and many narrow paths.

The Urttalsperre is the oldest dam (1905) in the Eifel and a popular destination. The dam wall was the largest structure in Europe at the time, has a length of 266 m and a height of 59 m. There is a nice excursion restaurant at the dam wall, which you can reach by boat, bus, car, bike or on foot. The Urftsee is also a very beautiful hiking area with a great path along the shore, which always offers a beautiful view of the Ordensburg Vogelsang.

The Obermaubach dam in Obermaubach in the municipality of Kreuzau in the district of Düren, North Rhine-Westphalia, was built in 1933 and 1934 and serves as a compensating reservoir for the Rur inflows of varying strength and to control the most even possible discharge of water into the Rur. The reservoir is located in the area of the municipality of Kreuzau as well as in the upper area in the area of the municipalities of Hürtgenwald and Nideggen.

The Obermaubach reservoir is approx. 3 km long and has a storage height of approx. 5 m. There is also a circular hiking trail around the reservoir.

"... Two different rock formations meet in the Rur Valley. In addition to the rather inconspicuous old folded slate mountains with their rather wavy profile, the steep, red rock formations from the time of the red sandstone are particularly eye-catching. The red color of the red sandstone cliffs indicates the desert climate that prevailed in the Eifel when this rock layer was formed 220 million years ago. ...
