The arrow pointed to this dam.
But by the time we got there it was spitting more rain.

| Both the Vesdre (above) and the Gileppe (below) pool water at the perimeter of the plateau on top of which the Hautes Fagnes lie |
That motivated us to drive to the Gilippe instead.
Not that we avoided getting drenched:
It started pouring down even harder than before.

| Can you see the giant lion? |
Still, we got a pretty good photo of the lion on top.
That’s one huge cat.

| Streams running off the High Fens are the source of the reservoirs, which provide drinking water and energy in the valley below. |
Between the valley and the plateau he has plenty of room to roam!
