FLOOD BARRIER
One of the oldest dams in Europe to hold back the waters of the Gileppe and Louba rivers, a tower with a view of the Lion monument
The site is impressive! It is one of the oldest dams in Europe. Built between 1869 and 1878 to retain the waters of the Gileppe and the Louba rivers, mainly due to the needs of the textile industry in the region. A 77-metre-high panoramic tower allows you to take in the lake and the Hertogenwald forest at a glance, as well as the Lion Monument, the work of the sculptor Félix Bouré, weighing a modest 36 tonnes. An ideal place for a walk or bike ride or to sit down to a restaurant or tea-room with a view. Guided tour of the site.
