Greylag goose
The site as it stands today dates back to the 1950s and 1960s. Although these lakes are artificial, they were not created for tourism or leisure purposes.
Before the 1950s, Luxembourg exploited local sand pits in this area. In other words, quarries from which sand, gravel and pebbles were extracted for construction purposes. When the quarrying stopped, the artificially created basins filled up with groundwater. This is how the Remerschen lakes came into being.
