Bivels, Op der Loch

This route begins with a steady ascent. Almost invisible here is one of Europe’s largest pumped-storage power plants (SEO). Deep beneath your route, the floodwaters roar through huge pipes between the reservoir and the upper basin on Mont St. Nicolas. Even older mining stories are told by the copper mine in Stolzembourg. Before you return to Bivels, you can let your gaze wander up to Falkenstein Castle when crossing the Our.

The Our river makes a loop around Bivels, the starting point of this route. This path follows the river almost all the time, which makes it very special. When you cross the river, you also cross the border into Germany. From a special point, you can see both ends of the Our loop from above.
