HAUTE-SÛRE NATURE PARK
Read moreWith an area of 18 387 hectares (about 250 km ²), this park, established in 1999, comprises 7 communes (Boulaide, Ell, Esch-sur-Safe, Heiderscheid, Lake of Haute-safe, Neunhausen and Weinseler). The resident population is approximately 5 500 inhabitants.
The lake of Haute-Safe and its facilities are the main point of the park. This artificial lake, 380 hectares and 27 km in length, was created in 1961 by the construction of a dam that allows the supply of two thirds of the country to drinking water. The bottom of the main restraint, upstream of the Misery Bridge, is a wild fauna, elsewhere threatened with extinction, such as the otter, the wild cat or the grouse. The lake trail (42 km) allows walkers to admire the beauty of the region and there is the possibility to practise a good number of water sports. The park is the starting point for many thematic circuits with distances ranging from 600 m to 8 km and rides.
