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.

Beautiful to see how the river meanders through the landscape.

At least today the water didn't look particularly good. While other lakes, ponds and rivers are clear, the Orchelsweiher is filled with brown water.

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

A beautiful natural area of the Wurm.

The Wehebach dam in the municipality of Hürtgenwald is the third largest and probably the most original dam in the entire North Eifel region. It offers hikers numerous hiking trails and impressive opportunities to experience the element of water. It can be reached on foot from the towns of Großhau and Kleinhau. The Wehebach dam has been in operation since 1983 and was built to protect the Wehe and Inde valleys from flooding and to provide drinking and service water. Strict water protection regulations apply. For this reason, leisure activities in and around the Wehebachtalsperre are completely inadmissible. This means that nature can unfold undisturbed. Numerous beaver castles can be admired at this dam. Impressive even today: The former country road number 11 between Kleinhau and Schevenhütte runs across the Wehebachtalsperre and became impassable due to the damming of the Wehebachtal.

Idyllic small lake in the forest that invites you to take a break in the great outdoors.
