The Orchelsweiher offers a place of relaxation in every season. The flora and fauna is very diverse and varied depending on the season. You shouldn't swim here, but with the right fishing license and the appropriate permit, you can sit here.

Wehebach Dam

Highlight • Monument

The Wehebach Dam is located between Hürtgenwald in the Düren district and Stolberg (Rhineland) in the Aachen city region in North Rhine-Westphalia. It was put into operation in 1983 for flood protection, drinking water supply and to raise low water levels. Below the dam, the Wehebach continues to flow into the Inde and the Rur. The dam belongs to the Eifel-Rur Water Association (WVER).

Dam of the Wehebach dam

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you don't want to be part of mass tourism, you're in good hands here. I often use the routes around the Wehebachtalsperre on long weekends or Sundays, because the North Eifel Nature Park is often overcrowded then. Another advantage is the condition of the paths. They are easy to ride even after a long period of rain. However, single trails are a real rarity in the area. One highlight is definitely the large beaver dams on the Rote Wehe.

A beautiful loop along well-maintained and unhurried paths. The hike is also suitable for winter. Merle 🐶 worked hard, and I enjoyed the day ❤️
