    Eifelblick Wolfshügel
    Photo: Naturpark Nordeifel e.V.
Vom Wolfshügel in einer Höhe von 360 Metern über dem Meeresspiegel reicht der Blick in nördlicher Richtung über den Ort Einruhr hinweg in das Tal der Rurtalsperre. Sehenswert im Erholungsort Einruhr sind unter anderem einige gut erhaltene Fachwerkwinkelhöfe in aufwändigem Baustil. Der Ort eignet sich hervorragend als Ausgangspunkt für einen Besuch im nahe gelegenen Nationalpark Eifel.

Die Rurtalsperre setzt sich aus dem im Vordergrund sichtbaren Obersee und dem nördlich anschließenden Hauptsee zusammen. Sie ist mit einem Beckeninhalt von rund 200 Millionen Kubikmetern die größte der 9 Talsperren in der Nordeifel. Die Stauseen dienen zur Bereitstellung von Trink- und Brauchwasser, dem Hochwasserschutz, der Niedrigwasseranreicherung und der Stromerzeugung. Der Hauptsee der Rurtalsperre, der "Rursee", bietet außerdem viele Möglichkeiten zur Freizeitnutzung.

Der Talsperrenbau in der Nordeifel begann um 1900. Ausschlaggebend war der unausgeglichene Abfluss der Rur. Immer wieder verursachten katastrophale Hochwässer große Schäden entlang des Flusses. In den Trockenmonaten im Sommer führte die Rur jedoch so wenig Wasser, dass keine ausreichende Versorgung von Haushalten, Industrie und Landwirtschaft möglich war.
