The start is at the beginning of the dream loop "Morscheider Grenzpfad", but immediately after the gate there is a rather steep descent to Riveris: then about 2 km to the dam, which cannot be walked on, continuing on wide, mostly paved or lightly gravelled paths around the lake on nice hillside paths until you meet the border path again on the left. Then go up the path and further on the hillside path, which is also often used for horse rides.
