Lake Eupen is a vast reservoir created by damming the Vesdre River, set amidst the rolling hills and dense forests of the High Fens region. The lake is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a network of well-marked hiking and cycling trails that circle the water. Visitors can enjoy scenic walks along the shoreline, with opportunities to spot local wildlife such as birds and deer. In summer, the lake is used for non-motorized water sports like sailing and windsurfing. The surrounding woodlands provide shade and a peaceful atmosphere, making it an ideal escape from city life. The dam itself is an impressive engineering feat, and the area includes picnic spots and viewpoints.
