The city is located in the hills of the Eifel, in the narrow valley of the Rur river. The historic city center wasn't destroyed in World War II, thus the many half-timbered houses and narrow streets nearly unchanged for 300 years make it a popular tourist attraction nowadays. Historically the main industry of the city were cloth-mills.
