Barrage du Ry de Rome (320 m)

There is a small reservoir in the forest of Nismes. Construction of the dam started in 1949. With some interruptions, construction resumed in the 1970s. The dam was put into use in 1975. A wide road with just over 5 kilometers at 3.2% leads to this small reservoir. Due to a few falling parts, the average is low. But make no mistake: the first two kilometers are steep.

The Barrage du Ry de Rome sounds Italian, but is close to the French border. The extensive forests in the Couvin area were ideal for Adolf Hitler. Hitler's bomb shelter can be found in nearby Brûly-de-Pesche. Then there was no mention of the reservoir. The A304 motorway connection is also new and under construction. The French part is ready, the Belgian part is not. This shortens the connection between Brussels and Reims enormously.
