Gravel ride to Eupen Dam and back

The route

On this gravel route, you head north, crossing the High Fens and the Hertogenwald to the Weser Dam in Eupen and back to Bütgenbach.

Water is a constant companion: you pass three dams along the way – Bütgenbach Lake, Robertville Lake, and Eupen Lake – and follow four rivers: Hill, Soor, Getzbach, and Warche.

The route also offers plenty of scenic highlights, making it as visually rewarding as it is challenging.
