Naturerlebnisbad Einruhr

About

Naturerlebnisbad Einruhr (NEBIE) is a natural bathing area right on the Obersee, part of the Rursee reservoir in the northern Eifel. According to the operator, bathing is in biologically cleaned water without chlorine or chemicals; the swimming area is in the lake itself.

The bath was saved by local residents and the association Naturerlebnisbad Einruhr e.V., which runs it with volunteer work. There is a bistro with a terrace, a playground with a slide and a rental of pedal and rowing boats. The non-swimmer and paddling pools are closed for the 2026 season.
