周辺の湖・トップ20

Nice pond and nice for a break.

The lake/dam is beautiful to look at from the Vennbahn. Access to the water is limited. I have to mention that I don't know my way around there.

The navigable dam is a good starting point for numerous tours.

The Lion, created by Félix-Antoine Bouré, is one of the major attractions. Height: 13.5m – her weight: 130 tons. 183 blocks that fit together like a puzzle were completely dismantled and rebuilt to mark the raising of the dam. The lion looks in the direction of Eupen, then Prussia, barely 5 kilometers away. Source: https://www.tourismejalhaysart.be/nl/attraction/barrage-du-lac-de-la-gileppe-jalhay-hautes-fagnes-spa/

This work of art, made from granite, was the first of its kind in Belgium. The dam was built between 1867 and 1875. Between 1967 and 1971 it was consolidated and the capacity of the reservoir was increased to 26.4 million m³ of water. The lake is fed by the Gileppe, the Louba and the Soor. Two 75m high collection towers direct the water to turbines. The famous Lion, created by Félix-Antoine Bouré, is one of the major attractions.

Very nice place that invites you to take a little rest.

A very nice place to stay.

The Wesertalsperre was commissioned in 1950. The dam is 63 meters high. The reservoir supplies Eupen, the Pays d'Herve, the Liège region and the Sart Tilman area with drinking water. The tour of the lake is 16 kilometers and it is possible to do the whole tour on foot.
