Rur Bridge at Adolfosee

Highlight • Bridge

The lake is a quarry pond, created as a result of sand and gravel quarrying from the late 1960s to the 1980s. In the initial phase it was popularly called "Lago Laprello" (the quarry pond in the Heinsberg district of Lieck is also called Lago Laprello, after the gravel mining company), it then got its official name after Adolf Freiherr Spies von Büllesheim from Ratheim, who belonged to this was a member of the Bundestag for the district of Heinsberg at the time.

Between the Adolfosee and the Rur

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This section is unusual, as you move here between the lake on one side and the Rur on the other, you are as it were "between the waters".

Bunker ruins in Adolfosee

Highlight • Monument

As the remains of the west wall, four bunkers have been preserved, which were blown up after the Second World War, but - unlike many other bunkers in the region - were not removed. They can be seen as islands in Lake Adolfo.

Unfortunately, you can hardly see the lake while walking. Everything is overgrown.

Originally intended as a short loop before shopping, I unexpectedly encountered a lot of birds on camera. The highlight was the nightingale up close.

After lunch, go back to Lake Adolfo and do a lap. This is what many people have thought in order to catch a few 🌞 rays. The wind was icy on the water and the Rur.
We got dessert in the narrative cafe in Beeck ☕ 🍰 much later we shouldn't have opened it, cake 🎂 then everyone, everyone.

Beautiful, calm lake, where swimming was also possible in many places. It is ideal for hiking and cycling.
I liked it 😊

A beautiful walk around the lake. You can also walk around the small island. There are lovely picnic areas all around the lake. It would be even better if people would take their trash with them. The four bunker remains are clearly visible in the water. A diving club and a sailing club are also located right on the water.
