    The Cranenweyer is the only reservoir in the Netherlands - nearby is the Kasteel Erenstein.

    The view at Cranenweyer in Kerkrade offers a beautiful view of the Cranenweyer dam, which was constructed in the 1950s to limit flooding in the region. It is the only dam in the Netherlands. The lake is part of the Worm catchment area and is located in a landscape of forest and meadow, popular with hikers and nature lovers. In addition to its water management function, Cranenweyer has become an important nature reserve, where various water birds and other animals have found their home.
