Old Rurtalbahn Railway Track

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.

Rolling along the Rur is always something nice. Most of the time you roll quite flat and can enjoy the landscape.

Weir on the Rur

Highlight • River

Here the Rur shows her wild side. A nice place to drop down and listen to the sound of the river. Also very popular for rafting and kayaking.
