Wehebach Dam

Highlight • Monument

The Wehebach Dam is located between Hürtgenwald in the Düren district and Stolberg (Rhineland) in the Aachen city region in North Rhine-Westphalia. It was put into operation in 1983 for flood protection, drinking water supply and to raise low water levels. Below the dam, the Wehebach continues to flow into the Inde and the Rur. The dam belongs to the Eifel-Rur Water Association (WVER).

Dam of the Wehebach dam

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you don't want to be part of mass tourism, you're in good hands here. I often use the routes around the Wehebachtalsperre on long weekends or Sundays, because the North Eifel Nature Park is often overcrowded then. Another advantage is the condition of the paths. They are easy to ride even after a long period of rain. However, single trails are a real rarity in the area. One highlight is definitely the large beaver dams on the Rote Wehe.

View of the Wehebach Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

An elevated vantage point directly on the dam offers a view over the barrier structure and parts of the lake. The only leisure activities permitted are hiking and cycling, as the lake is not approved for water sports due to its character as a drinking water reservoir. Due to its location in a wooded area, the reservoir offers the opportunity for primarily ornithological nature observations.
