Lake Nisramont, lake in Belgium
Lake Nisramont is a reservoir in the Ardennes region, created by a dam on the Ourthe river where it splits into two channels. The water spreads across wooded hillsides and provides a calm setting for walking, fishing, kayaking, and paddling.
The dam was built to manage the flow of the Ourthe river and provide electricity and drinking water for the surrounding valleys. Over the years, the site has become a destination for people seeking to explore and enjoy the landscape.
The place is named after the Ourthe river that flows through the valley. Today, it serves as a gathering spot where hikers and nature enthusiasts come to walk and spend time outdoors.
The site is open year-round and free to visit, making it easy to plan a day outdoors. Parking is available near the Engreux sports center in Houffalize, and hiking trails are clearly marked with signs and can be followed in either direction.
A striking feature along the trail is a sculpture called Avolare, shaped like two fish fins, located at a viewpoint overlooking where the two branches of the Ourthe meet. Near this spot, a small bivouac area allows visitors to camp under the stars.
