Obermaubach Fish Pass

Highlight • Structure

Almost 1.7 million euros are budgeted for this measure, which will be carried out by the Eifel-Rur Water Association (WVER) in late spring/summer 2007 at the same time as other construction work to ensure dam safety.
What does the municipality of Kreuzau and what do the neighboring municipalities benefit from this million-dollar project for “migratory fish”?
What does the continuity of the Obermaubach dam bring?
“Migratory fish” are fish species whose spawning and feeding areas do not spatially coincide. The most famous migratory fish is salmon. In addition to salmon, the migratory fish species in the so-called “grayling region”, to which the Rur in our area belongs, include sea trout, eel as well as river and sea lamprey, which are particularly vulnerable due to inadequately protected hydroelectric power plants and the technical development of the Rur as a hiking trail are at risk.

We recommend the glass window through which you can look at the fish migrating through. This is located below the kiosk.
Highly recommended, especially for kids.

Coming from Obermaubach, after crossing the new arched bridge over the Rur River, one has a view of the Eugenienstein and the Rur towards Nideggen. The Eugenienstein rises to a height of 334 meters above sea level. The rock formation is composed of red sandstone.

Gut Kallerbend

Highlight • Restaurant

Nice restaurant with friendly staff. I can recommend the delicious Jägerschnitzel with French fries and a cool Kölsch with it.
If you are interested, you can also rent accommodation here for a short vacation. More information is available here: gut-kallerbend.de/de/gut-kallerbend

Obermaubach Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

A truly lovely spot for a break. From here you have a wonderful view over the reservoir. For a light snack or a delicious coffee, I recommend Café Fink near the bridge. Listening to the sound of the fish ladder, enjoying a good slice of cake, and a cup of coffee makes for a very relaxing experience.
