    Hiking

    There are many dam walls, there are higher, wider, more powerful ones than this one. This is not a superlative, but still unique. Rarely do you get so much insight into the technology and architecture of a dam.

    Beautiful view from the dam across the lake towards Worriken.
    The dam was built between 1929 and 1932 in the Warche valley. It is a massive concrete dam with a height of approximately 23 meters and a length of around 140 meters. Apart from its tourist significance, it is used for regulating water levels, flood protection, and energy generation.

    The Bütgenbach reservoir is always a great destination. It is also easy to reach via the Vennbahn cycle path. Great scenery along the way!
