Bütgenbach - Lake of the Far North

Lakes often exert a fascinating attraction on a hiker. For those looking for an unspoilt landscape, Butgenbach is the place to be!

In the depths of the Eastern Townships, the lure of adventure still resonates: here, the paths form the soul of the country. The north wind quickly clears the last fogs.

According to the weather forecast, the weather will be beautiful: the blue sky will shine on the crystal clear waters of the lake. The road that runs along the banks shows you nature in all its wild splendour. During the summer, the beaches, which are here and there, will make you want a refreshing dip... A little further, a nice bat path leads you to the Holzwarche Nature Reserve.

A rare example of a mowing meadow that can only develop from a height of 500 meters. Alpine plants such as mountain fennel and black buttonhole thrive here. After a short climb, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the lake. The Warche resembles a Canadian river, just before its mouth. Especially in winter, when the river water at the mouth threatens to freeze. This walk along the mysterious forests and the lake will certainly charm you.
