Bütgenbach Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The Bütgenbach dam was built between 1929 and 1932. The main function of the dam is to regulate the course of the Warche river. This created the lake of Bütgenbach. It is a starting point for beautiful, popular hiking routes: for example, a 10-kilometer walk can be made around the lake.

Beautiful lake with clean and well-maintained resting areas.
It is an artificially created reservoir that was formed in the early 1930s by damming the river Warche. It serves primarily for water regulation, flood protection, and energy production. Today, the lake is also a popular destination for leisure and water sports activities.
