10 dams on one vacation route - discover the region with the most dams in Europe by motorhome, car or motorcycle.
With its 12 reservoirs, the Bergisches Land is the region with the most reservoirs in Europe. No other region in Europe has so many reservoirs, which were originally built to supply drinking water and to better deal with floods. You can discover this special feature on the approximately 150 kilometers, as the route takes you past ten dams. As six of the reservoirs are still pure drinking water reservoirs today, you can't get too close to the banks, but there are always wonderful viewpoints from which you have a great view over the reservoirs, some of which are very ramified, or footpaths that allow you to get closer to the water. This is also the case at the Wiehl dam, where the tour starts. There you can only get close to the Krombacher Island, which is well-known from TV, on foot. The route then takes you past reservoirs that can also be used as swimming lakes, such as the Aggertalsperre, Brucher and Bevertalsperre reservoirs. In this way, the route leads you on a long-distance tour, on which there are always beautiful views and refreshment stops, all the way to the Große Dhünntalsperre.
