Hiking

The Bütgenbach dam was a strategically important target during World War II and was guarded by the Belgian army. In an emergency, the sluices were to be blown up so that they would not fall into enemy hands. On May 10, 1940, German troops attacked the guard posts and overpowered them before the demolition could take place. During the subsequent occupation, the dam was further monitored and ultimately remained undamaged.

Again and again you come across the markings of the cross-border hiking trail "Path of Remembrance". The entire course of the path is marked with the dove of peace, it leads to prominent scenes of the war in the German-Belgian border area.

Hiking

In war, dams are important targets for attacks. Therefore, the Bütgenbach dam was given special protection by the Belgian army. Table 15 reports on this.
