Visitor Information

The Düren mill is situated in the middle of Düren, a large district town and work and shopping city where everything is close together. The city of Düren lies exactly between the Rhine metropolis of Köln and the engineering incubator of Aachen. The city also offers an abundance of leisure possibilities thanks to the Rur, a small river flowing through the town, and the nearby Eifel mountain range. The A4 motorway is only a short drive from the mill, and the railway station is also within easy reach thanks to public bus transport. You can connect to various regional as well as S-Bahn train lines there.
