Eupen dam on the Vesdre (= Weser) and reservoir of the dam Touring it on foot is a varied and wooded 14 km walk, where deciduous trees and conifers alternate, stony paths along the water's edge and forest paths in the undergrowth, decorated with blueberry bushes and songs of birds, with a return via a small forest road invaded by German cyclists with family or with the dog, all this is bucolic, romantic and pleasant!
