Rur Dam Tours

Throughout history, dams have been built to control and restrict water flow and support communities. Visit Rur Dam and discover the functions it serves in the area.

This man-made water barrier is on the to-do lists of many visitors to Heimbach. But Rur Dam isn't the area's only drawcard. Eifel National Park, Ordensburg Vogelsang, and Hengebach Castle are some other recommended attractions close by.

9/10 Wonderful! (51 reviews)
The room hasn’t been renovated yet and unfortunately was lacking amenities (no phone, small TV, dusty), however, the hotel is a little gem and the Breakfast was too die for, super delicious we’ve spent hours every morning lol. They worked with us changing departure date. Cute ambiance!

8/10 Very Good! (300 reviews)
Stayed in Cologne 6.2.25. Got the 4-bed family room. Plenty of space for us all. Very roomy, clean and comfortable. The lift is small and stairs are steep, no big deal. Dinner recommendation was on point! Only down side is trying to find parking to check in. The parking garage is half a block away and once accessed super easy. Totally recommend staying here!
