Jugendstätte Rursee

The St. Nikolaus Youth Center Rursee is located on the edge of the village of Schmidt. The buildings of the youth center are located on a 3-hectare forest and meadow area above the Rursee, with the Eifel National Park in the immediate vicinity. Schmidt itself has a tourist information point in the church of St. Hubertus (popularly known as St. Mokka), which is also a tourist attraction in its own right. The lake itself is only a 20-30 minute walk away. The spacious outdoor area is ideal for a wide range of leisure activities. End the day with a cozy campfire in our tepee. The Aachen Diocesan Association of the German Scout Association of St. George (DPSG) is the sponsor of the Rursee youth center. With 120 beds divided into two houses, the youth center offers space for everyone all year round, whether school classes, youth associations, youth and adult groups, course groups or nature lovers.
