June 9, 2022,Rur: Zwischen Schlagstein und Rursee Do9.6.2022

This varied section of the RurUfer cycle path was easy to cycle today. A lot through forest, meadows and villages and also on busy roads and along the lake shore offered a pleasant mix. It was really great fun!

May 9, 2026,🇩🇪 Heimatrunde Düren - Heimbach

Today another one of our favorite tours. Whether on foot or by bike. Along the Rur and in its surroundings is always a pleasure. Tame or wild-romantic, the river makes its way through the Eifel. Left and right beautiful small old villages, protected by numerous castles.

July 11, 2022,Von Lendersdorf nach Heimbach via Ruruferradweg

Cycling almost like in Holland. At least the first piece until Zerkall. The section from Hausen to Heimbach is not that great. The path to the left of the Rur might be nicer.
The train I took from Heimbach was finally quite full. At the beginning in Heimbach you probably still have the opportunity to get a place for the …

After a short break from the previous tour at the campsite, the biker caterpillar Nimmersatt got back on the saddle and drove to the Obermaubach reservoir.

Today at noon Heinz and Dag spontaneously stood in front of our door and took us on a tour. Great idea, so we didn't have to keep working in the garden. 🤣
We left here without a fixed destination and then decided on the way to eat the cream puffs in the cafe in Hausen, which Heinz had often praised. …
