エシュヴァイラーの天然記念物・トップ20

The Wurm River, largely in its natural state, exhibits an impressive flow dynamic that is unparalleled nationwide. Driven by the force of the flowing water, the river's course is constantly changing, creating new channels, gravel bars, eroding banks, abandoned riverbeds, and new floodplain forests. The abundance of food in the Wurm's gravel and sand deposits makes the river particularly attractive to certain, sometimes rare, bird species. For example, the rare kingfisher finds ideal nesting opportunities in the eroded banks of the Wurm. Beavers have also returned to the Wurm in recent years.

The Wurmtal - a great local recreation area

Beautiful to see how the river meanders through the landscape.

Beautiful Nordic tour through Wurmtal in Aachen. Also suitable for cyclists and strollers. There are also bridle paths and mountain bike trails from the hiking trails

A very original section near the closed development.

A narrow path leads here parallel to the course of the river.

A beautiful natural area of the Wurm.

Since its source in the Aachen city forest, the Wurm has collected a lot of water here. The course of the river is 57 km long and flows into the Rur near Heinsberg-Kempen.
