April 21, 2024,Tour du Lac d’Eupen au départ du barrage

In the lake tour series, here is the one at Eupen. Great route on beautiful asphalt or hard dirt paths. A more rugged passage to reach the crossing of the Vesdre but we would be bored if it were too simple 😉. In addition, the walk is completely in the middle of nature which changes from day to day at …

October 10, 2025,Iron Lake Challenge "Belgien" - See-Nr. 3: Wesertalsperre

Today we headed to Belgium, to the Weser Dam, also called the Eupen Dam (Lac d'Eupen).
It is the third-largest lake and the most important (drinking) water reservoir in Belgium. The sight of how empty this dam is made me all the more sad. 😳
The hike was beautiful because it also went through the German-Belgian High Fens Nature …

A round of sailing on Sunday

Was OK. On the northern edge of the dam there were beautiful root paths along the bank, which are definitely worth it. The rest is asphalt and more of a race track.
The dam is also something special. You can also stop there if necessary.

Partly near the shore on beautiful narrow paths - but mostly on asphalted forest roads😔

February 16, 2025,Umrundung der Wesertalsperre Teil 2😁

At first we thought that they were all wide and asphalted paths, but we were proven wrong. Shortly after the dam, the first 6.6½km were on paths that were partly beautiful, parallel to the water. From the 87 steps onwards, the path took us over asphalt, but we didn't think that was a bad thing, as we didn't find it …
