Bütgenbach lake

After watching the tour the France on tv with pouring rain outside, we really felt the need to get outside as soon as it cleared up a bit.   So I suggested a nice & easy walk around the lake of Bütgenbach, the first of the 4 dammed lakes in the area.   "Nice & Easy", I had slightly underestimated the distance of 11 kms, but off we went.  It was a tiring walk but I thouroughly enjoyed the views on the lakes, the stretches through the woods (handy as it was raining again at the end), trails crossing some marches and the abundance of weeds in flower.
