루르댐 최고의 등산 경로

This route offers room for variations....

The arched bridge over the Rur River, built here in 1992, should be crossed slowly and carefully in wet weather, as the wooden planks can be slippery! Whether on foot or by bicycle, it's wise to take precautions, as I've experienced before.

Directly at the power plant and parking lot.

Great view of the lake

Great area… Great trails… Very nice people… What more could you want…, I will be back, that’s for sure

Beautifully situated rest area at the Hesselbach, which invites us to take a short break.

Great view of the Eifel and you can usually enjoy it alone...

Anyone familiar with the ancient idiom—now largely lost—will recognize the root word "meucheln" (to kill/murder) in the "Meuchelberg" found here. The fact that the local cemetery is located at its foot on the outskirts of Heimbach naturally reinforces this impression. GH's interesting article, with its link to several legends that—albeit with different interpretations of the details—all convey the same core message, could indeed explain the name.
