The smallest city in North Rhine-Westphalia

Nestled in the heart of the Eifel National Park lies Heimbach, the smallest town in North Rhine-Westphalia—and one of the most charming. The imposing Hengebach Castle, the internationally renowned art academy, and the Art Nouveau hydroelectric power plant define the cultural landscape. At the same time, Lake Rur and the surrounding forests invite visitors to enjoy hiking, biking, and nature experiences. Heimbach combines living history, inspiring art, and the unspoiled nature of the Eifel—a place that surprises and delights.
