RIO-Raum-Information-Oberberg

RIO is the geoportal of the Oberberg district, where spatial information is provided and presented to the public. There are various RIO applications structured around different themes (e.g., RIO Leisure and Tourism). Each RIO application contains thematic specialist data that can be displayed and printed based on selection.

Spatially Located:

Nowadays, many pieces of information are linked to a location. This information is then referred to as geoinformation. Geoinformation can be ideally represented in a geographic information system (GIS) like RIO.

Informed:

Do you want to build, acquire real estate, get an overview of the surroundings of your place of residence or work, get to know your homeland, plan your leisure time in the Oberberg district, determine coordinates, distances, or areas, estimate the solar potential or the value of your property, find POIs (Points-Of-Interest), and much more? 

District-wide:

In RIO, all geoinformation available to the district administration is displayed for the 13 municipalities in the Oberberg district, from Morsbach to Radevormwald and from Engelskirchen to Reichshof.
