Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A real alternative to get from Rurich to Baal. The old terrace of the Rurtalbahn is absolutely flat. Loose, but good to be driven underground. Shaded by trees in the summer. Very nice to cycle.

Bench with a View of the Rur near Jülich

Highlight • Viewpoint

The left side of the Rur is really nice to cycle along the river. Sometimes it is a leisurely river and sometimes it even looks a little wilder (at the numerous weirs).
