Author’s recommendation
Whether sailing, surfing, boat tour or swimming: The Rur reservoir offers water sports and leisure activities in colorful variety. Nature lovers will also enjoy the charming lake landscape, who just want to relax and enjoy. Those who want to take a closer look at the Rur Lake should choose a tour with the Rur Lake fleet. Those who prefer to be active themselves should better enjoy a bike trip around the lake. One of the highlights in summer is the big fireworks "Rursee in Flames".

Public transport
Travel options to KalterherbergReaching the actual starting point at Signal de Brotagne by public transport is relatively difficult. A trip using public transport including bike transport makes sense especially on Sundays and public holidays. Then it is recommended to travel from Aachen with the bike bus, which transports bicycles in summer months over Roetgen to Kalterherberg station (direct connection) in an extra trailer to the national park region. More information can be found at: www.avv.de/rad
Alternatively, you can also be brought from Aachen main station to the starting point of the RurUfer cycle path by an experienced shuttle service. (More info about the shuttle service is available from Rureifel Tourismus e.V, An der Laag 4, 52396 Heimbach Tel.: +49 24 46 / 80 579-0, Email: info@rureifel-tourismus.de, Homepage: www.rureifel-tourismus.de)
To get back to the starting point after your trip, take the train via Mönchengladbach back to Aachen. From there, follow the connection described above to Kalterherberg.
