HYDROPOWER, SMUGGLING AND THE ARDENNES OFFENSIVE From enigmatic traces of the Romans to sites of the Second World War: on this circular route you immerse yourself in the eventful history of a border region. Experience the traces of the Battle of the Ardennes up close, hear smuggler stories, and learn why the Eifel poet Clara Viebig is still honored in Manderfeld today. But first, you will get to know a particularly resilient piece of history: the dam in Bütgenbach.
