ジンメラートの天然記念物・トップ20

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

The 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.

A beautiful, picturesque Venn landscape. A pleasure for the soul.

Wonderful hiking section that will be remembered for a long time with its beauty.

Wonderful view of the fen landscape that stretches out on both sides. Pure nature to enjoy. In addition to the Mützenicher Fens and the Walloon Fens near Botrange, one of the most beautiful fen landscapes I have seen so far. A treat for nature lovers.

The Struffelt is not an amusement park but a nature reserve that is particularly worthy of protection with very strict rules that everyone should follow. Anyone who does not comply with this not only destroys the Struffelt, they are also guilty of global warming. But unfortunately there are too many people who have eaten decency with a slotted spoon, otherwise this call would not have been necessary. All those who hike through nature should know that the people who care for the paths and nature are "volunteer" people. You shouldn't complain, you should be thankful. Ralf's post on August 1st, 2020 and my post are probably pointless because they are only read by those who have always followed the rules.
