Highlight (Segment) • Lake

I was surprised by the beautiful circular hiking trail on the Bütgenbacher See and, in particular, by the many well-tended rest areas.

Beautiful hiking trail at Lake Bütgenbach

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This section is an approx. 1m wide hiking trail on a hillside and near the lake. A wonderful path where you will be accompanied by the chirping of birds in the morning. It is extremely rare to meet anyone here at 8 a.m. in the morning. Neat benches and rest areas included.

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.
