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

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 three lakes (Lower Lake, Middle Lake, and Upper Lake) offer beautiful, tranquil natural surroundings. Many water birds (ducks, swans, and geese) can be observed here, providing numerous photographic opportunities. Several benches invite you to linger and enjoy nature. Simply let it all sink in and unwind.

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. ...

When walking around the lake, we encountered anglers again and again, who usually answered the greeting "Petri Heil" in a friendly manner with "Petri Dank".
