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).

June 14, 2026,Die Rur in Jülich – Rur Runde von Erkelenz

A very nice tour on mostly well-maintained paths and off the roads. My recommendation: from Körrenzig, avoid the "cycle path" next to the B57 in the direction of Erkelenz and take the cycle and field paths via Rurich. The cycle path is a disaster, especially from Baal.
