Heimbach

Heimbach straddles the Rur in North Rhine-Westphalia’s Eifel region, and its riverside position has long connected the town with the wooded valleys and reservoirs of the northern Eifel. Hengebach Castle rises above the compact historic centre, while the Art Nouveau Heimbach hydroelectric power station, opened in 1905, recalls the area’s early use of water power. The town stands beside Eifel National Park and near the Rursee, a reservoir formed by dams on the Rur. Walking routes and the local railway make Heimbach a useful starting point for the Rur valley.
