View of the Rur Valley Cycle Path bridge over the Rur River
Highlight • Bridge
What makes this route so appealing is that you have the river almost constantly at your side, meandering through valleys past nature reserves and historic villages. The cycle paths run both directly along the river and on country roads that regularly offer views of the valley and its meanders. Along the way, you cross the Rur several times over bridges; some are simple cycle paths to the other side, others are old stone and metal structures with historic charm. These bridges serve as functional junctions for the cycle routes and viewpoints, offering beautiful views of the river's course and the surrounding landscape from various points.
Rur Bridge and Other Crossings
Along sections of the Rur Ufer Cycle Path, there are bridges where the path crosses the river, for example, bridges near villages or at characteristic transitions in the landscape. From these bridges, you often have panoramic views of the Rur Valley with its gentle valleys and wooded slopes, expansive meadows, and river arms in the Heinsberger Land region.
And in some cases, the historic buildings close to the riverbanks (for example, around Wassenberg-Orsbeck).
This viewpoint is an attractive resting point for cyclists and hikers who pause to enjoy the river's reflection in the water, the surrounding fields or meadows, and the horizon that extends beyond to villages, forests, or winding sections of the Rur Valley. On some connections, such as wooden or concrete bridges specifically built for the cycle path, you can literally stand right above the water and enjoy the view. This makes them natural photo and resting spots, where you can see the river meandering, hear the water lapping, and enjoy views of the typical German river landscape, much appreciated by cyclists who cycle the RurUfer Cycle Path.
