The River Wurm ((オランダ語:Worm)) is a river in North Rhine-Westphalia, western Germany. ==Geography== The Wurm is a left (western) tributary of the River Rur (Roer River). The Rur becomes a tributary of the Meuse River. The sources of the Wurm are several brooks in the forests southwest of Aachen, which form the Wurm after the ''Diepenbenden'' reservoir. From there the Wurm nowadays flows through canals through the city of Aachen, until it resurfaces at the ''Europaplatz'' in the east of Aachen. North of Aachen (between Kerkrade and Herzogenrath) the river forms the border with the Netherlands for approx. 10 km. It flows into the River Rur near Heinsberg. Other towns on the river Wurm are Würselen, Übach-Palenberg and Geilenkirchen. The name ''Wurm'' is thought to originate from the German word ''warm'' (same meaning in English), as the source brooks were fed from the thermal springs in Aachen. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wurm」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
