Tips

🇧🇪 Herwig Aertbeliën

November 19, 2021

The “Lac des Doyards” was created in 1975 on the grounds irrigated by the Glain, downstream from Vielsalm. Under the Ancien Régime they formed the douaire (widow's estate), the source of income for the parish. With a Walloon word, that became les doyards, and that name has remained. This is the largest artificial lake in the province of Luxembourg, covering almost 13 hectares. The landing is a safety structure, 10 m wide, which can drain 108 m3/s at exceptionally high water levels. The Afsluitdijk consists of schist rubble and 12,000 m3 of non-stony embankment. This paradise for hikers and fishermen is very rich in fauna and flora.
