Sports activities

RurUfer bicycle path

The RurUfer bicycle path along the banks or River Rur offers relaxed bicycling and 180 km of variety from the source of Rur in the Belgium Venn until the Dutch Roermond. The bicycle path leads along the small river Rur on well accessible and sign-posted routes. Except for small slopes it is mostly even. Simply follow the logo (RUR) and let yourself surprise by the beauty and variety along the Rur. You can make the way back comfortably by taking a ride on the Rurtal railway and Lake Rursee navigation and carry along your bike. There are many stops along the bicycle path for an individual and flexible arrangement of your trip. If you want more, you can book a guided tour as an educational leave e.g. via Rureifel tourism e.V.

An exciting companion is the book “bikeline-Radtourenbuch“ on the RurUfer bicycle path. The “bikeliner” is comprehensive and informative and an ideal companion for the bike tour along River Rur. Available also at Rureifel tourism e.V. for € 9.90 plus postage, or in well-assorted bookstores.

Water magic for sea dogs, mermaids and all who just love the water

Water – there is never a dull moment with this element. This is the meaning of sea dogs, mermaids and all who just love the water. And in the Rur-Eifel region they find exactly what they are looking for: crystal clear water galore. For splashing canoe tours and windy sailing manoeuvres or for the refreshing jump into the water in the Lake Rursee nature lido Eschauel or the open air baths of the surrounding. If dark clouds should throw a spanner in your plans, exciting and relaxing attractions as aqua-roller coaster and wellness oasis are competing for your favour.

Go west

Try out if you enjoy horseback riding – admitted bridle paths in the Rur-Eifel region are waiting to be explored. A pleasurable 4-day ride will lead you e.g. by stages around Nideggen, in the Monschau hedge region, over the mountain range of the northern Eifel and down to the fertile plain of ‘Zülpicher Börde’. Adequate accommodation after the daily ride provides satisfying horse whispering and cheerful bipeds. Find more for every rider’s heart and for all sports fans in the info hints.
