    At a height of 60m, a 13.5m high lion rises on the dam wall. Its weight is 300 tons.

      It stands on the crest of the dam and faces north-east, towards the former district town of Eupen and the former Prussian border, which was about 5 km away. The artist was Antoine-Félix Bouré (1831–1883). The lion was completely restored in October 2000.

        Beautiful dam. With a tower that you can visit for free. nice big reservoir. Which is still active. nice start of various bike rides. Plenty of trails. Also good for walkers.
