Drove

Formed around a settlement beside the Drover Bach, Drove developed into a rural district of Kreuzau on the northern edge of the Eifel. It lies east of the Rur valley in the Düren district, where farmland and wooded slopes mark the transition from the Rhine plain to the low Eifel uplands. Nearby, the Drover Heide nature reserve protects a mix of heath, grassland and woodland, contrasting with the more densely settled towns farther north. Drove became part of Kreuzau during North Rhine-Westphalia’s municipal reform of 1972, tying this small community to the wider Rur-Eifel area.
