Watersports, Luxembourg

Displayed:   times.

Near the town of Esch-sur-Sűre, in the heart of the Upper Sűre National Park, the River Sűre was damned up in 1961 to form the Upper Sűre Lake (Staudamm). The lake provides drinking water, supplies and generates electricity and offers a range of watersports. The protected area for drinking water stretches back some 5 km (3miles) from the main dam. Swimming is allowed only in marked areas and the water temperature is usually warm enough from June to September. Sailing and windsurfing are very popular and there are a number of sailing schools as well as companies hiring out boats and windsurfing boards. The best resorts for sailing and windsurfing are Insenborn, Lultzhausen and Liefrange. Further lakes where waterports can be pursued are at Echternach, Remerschen and Weiswampach. Water-skiing is allowed on the River Moselle from mid-April to mid-October from dawn to dusk in the sections of the river marked SKI. Luxembourg's many rivers also offer a range of watersports: the rivers Sűre, Moselle and the mountain rivers Clerve, Wiltz and Our are particularly good for kayaking and canoeing.
