The Hermitage At Lake Rur

The Hermitage at Lake Rur is situated on top of a hill, beside the woods and a small stream. On the other side of Lake Rur is the Eifel National Park. The Hermitage is close to both the Dutch and Belgian borders. The Hermitage is a quiet and peaceful place suitable for personal retreats under the guidance of Radhikaji. Even though there are as many as 2500 sail boats on Lake Rur, no motor boats are allowed here. The National Park is also the first International Dark Sky Park in Germany, that is, there is no light pollution at night, and you have a spectacular view of the Milky Way!

We have place for two persons to stay comfortably and can accommodate another 2-3 persons if necessary.

Retreats at The Hermitage are only possible for members of the Self Realization Program.

To come to The Hermitage, you can take a flight to Frankfurt Airport. The super fast ICE train takes 90 minutes to get to Aachen, also known as Aix-la-Chapelle. You will be picked up from Aachen.

Lake Rur is 85 kms from Cologne and 250 kms from Frankfurt/Main.
