Upper Sûre Lake

Upper Sûre Lake is a reservoir in the Canton of Wiltz surrounded by green hills and dense forests. The water is clear with several coves and different access points along the shoreline.

The lake was created in the 1960s when the Esch-sur-Sûre Dam was built across the river valley. This project has supplied Luxembourg with water ever since and permanently changed the local landscape.

The lake brings together fishermen and water sports enthusiasts from the surrounding communities who gather here regularly. People use the shores for walking, picnicking, and spending time outdoors throughout the seasons.

Multiple parking areas are located around the lake at different access points. Visitor conditions and access options may vary depending on the season and weather.

A floating bridge near Liefrange connects hiking paths on both sides and offers unusual viewpoints across the water. This structure is often overlooked by visitors but makes exploring the shoreline more interesting.
