Bütgenbach Dam

Highlight • Monument

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.

I would have really missed out if we hadn't done this tour. 🎉🎊🥇 Firstly, people can't believe anymore that someone rides such profiles without a motor and still with a hardtail. ☺️ Everyone so nice and friendly. 🫶🏻 Among other things, we shared the narrow, blocked hiking trails near Sourbrodt... We didn't ride into anyone's heels and the hikers moved …

The aim was the Hohes Venn nature park, a cross-border plateau in Germany and Belgium. The municipality of Botrange is also located here, with 694 m the highest elevation in …

Completed the last stage today. It was the shortest tour, but specially chosen because it went home straight away. The stage was easy to drive and a successful conclusion. But don't be fooled, there were crisp climbs and great single trails on this stage too
