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.

Today we went on a beautiful hike around Lake Bütgenbach with @UlRa. 🤩
We were able to relax and enjoy the beautiful nature and delicious food. It was a perfect day for hiking. 🌞☕🍰🥗🥩🍻

P.S. Komoot had a few glitches again today. It was interrupted once, and some of the pictures aren't where they should be. 🤷🏼‍♂️

After a leisurely coffee in the hotel, we actually only wanted to take a few more steps by the lake, maybe until the evening sun shone so beautifully on the way.
This time, however, we managed a lot more distance than planned and lapped it, very fast for our standards! the Bütgenbacher See.
It is a dam built in the …

Walked around Lake Bütgenbach in beautiful weather. Lovely little paths with lots of views of the lake, little bays to relax in and a very idyllic stretch over wooden footbridges.

A lot of water sports are practiced on the reservoir near Büttgenbach. Boy scouts are also out and about here a lot. The tour around the lake is varied and always offers different views of the water. The water felt surprisingly warm (mid-July) and is suitable for bathing.
The dam wall is accessible and quite impressive.
