The Biological Station Düren has converted the old goods shed of the former railroad station Nideggen-Brück into the permanent natural history exhibition "Rur and Rock".
The special reason for building the Kaiserhalle in this form as a self-supporting domed hall was the need for the builder Wilhelm Bell to provide evidence that local building materials such as lime, lava sand and trass can also be used for extreme loads. At a time before the turn of the century, when cement had started its triumphal march and the mining of the tram in the Brohl valley continued to decline, such proof seemed necessary.

The 4.5-kilometer Road follows the Schrumpfbach stream, which flows from Münstermaifeld-Metternich through a valley rich in forests and meadows down to hatzenport at the Moselle. Fifteen mills are on the wayside - some in a deep sleep, others are successful examples of how ancient walls can be beautifully renovated, for example to accommodate comfortable holiday apartments.
