Lake Bütgenbach right on your doorstep

Water sports and summer holidays by the water

Lake Bütgenbach is around a 10-minute walk from the Bütgenbacher Hof and one of the most beautiful lakes in East Belgium. In summer, it becomes a lively centre for water sports: paddleboarding, sailing, swimming or simply relaxing in the sun by the beach. For a family summer holiday by the water, there’s no need to travel all the way to the coast.

Swimming in Lake Bütgenbach

VENNtastic Beach, located directly by Lake Bütgenbach, offers a spacious beach area with 8.000 m² of sandy beach and sunbathing lawns. Swimming in Lake Bütgenbach is especially enjoyable here. A supervised bathing area with water games, a slide, diving board and action tower provides plenty of fun in the water, while younger children can safely splash around in a separate shallow-water area. You can even play water volleyball out on the lake. It’s an easy place to spend an entire summer’s day, from the first swim in the morning to the last rays of evening sun.

Stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking

Once you’re out on the water, the lake quickly feels calm and peaceful. Stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking can be booked directly through the Worriken Sports and Holiday Park at Lake Bütgenbach, whether you’re trying it for the first time or already have experience. It’s a wonderful way to discover the lake and its surroundings from a completely different perspective.

Pedal boats and sailing

Pedal boats are much more fun than many people think. They’re simple, relaxing and a great activity for families during a summer holiday by the water. Just start pedalling, enjoy the sunshine and spend some carefree time out on the lake. At nearby Lake Bütgenbach, it’s easy to do exactly that. If sailing sounds more appealing, the lake also offers courses and activities for both beginners and experienced sailors.
