Confluence of Eschbach and Weser

Highlight • River

This is a very beautiful hiking area, the gurgling of water accompanies you everywhere. Sure-footedness is absolutely necessary on long sections of the route. Depending on the season, waterproof/repellent shoes are recommended.

Getzbach Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

In my opinion, this difficult, hillside path is the most beautiful nature path along the Getzbach. Very difficult to climb in sections when wet. This nature trail is still officially closed from the Getzbach barrage. On the other hand, there are no longer any barrier signs.

Good view of the Weser Dam

Highlight • Viewpoint

Just a few kilometers outside the city center of Eupen is a gigantic concrete wall, the Wesertalsperre and the Lac d'Eupen formed by the confluence of the Vesder and the Getzbach. From here you have a beautiful view of the dam and the lake.

January 1, 2025,Eupen Randonnée

Superb hike starting from the Eupen dam. Magnificent and varied scenery between lake shores, forest, high Fens plateau and wooded trails. In order to access this great variety, a few km of asphalt (without crossing a car) are nevertheless unavoidable.

A round around the reservoir of eupen, alternating wide paths and single tracks with stones and roots. Here and there a greasy spot and a slope or a descent. Something for everyone. You can shorten the tour to 13 km (as close to the water as possible) or to 20 km, then you don't walk along helle hill, but I …

Departure and arrival at the Vesdre dam car park.

Pleasant moments along Eschbach, the trails along the dam on the south side.
Brackvenn passage towards the Fens is really great.
Be careful, …

June 12, 2022,Hohes Venn: Vorbei an den Zuflüssen der Wesertalsperre.

On Sunday it was all about the Wesertalsperre and past its tributaries Getzbach, Eschbach and Weser. The Steinbach is only present at the tributary to the Eschbach and the Mückensiefen is not illustrated.

The entire path somehow leads past the water, whether it's a dam, streams or through the high moor. The creeks are all filled with great rocks and …

One of my great classics because one of the most beautiful in Wallonia. The lake is superb and the wild trails (except at the beginning and at the end), a change of scenery guaranteed. Possibility of eating at the dam.
