Jumping, Triathlon, Gespann Treffen:
where to stay and eat in Weiswampach.

Published on 13 October 2026 · 6 min read

Every year, the Jumping, the Triathlon and the Euro Gespann Treffen take place beside the Weiswampach lakes, just under a kilometre from Casa 56. Here are the months to remember, what we know about the next dates as of 13 October 2026, and how to book your room and your table.

The year's calendar

Visit Éislek, the regional tourist office, sums up the year in Weiswampach in four events:

• July: the Jumping, next to the lake;
• midsummer: the Triathlon, around the lakes;
• late August: the Euro Gespann Treffen, the gathering of sidecar motorcycles;
• November: the St Martin's procession through the village.

As of 13 October 2026, the 2027 dates for the Jumping and the Triathlon have not been published on the organisers' websites. To give you an idea, here are the 2026 dates, and where to look out for the next ones.

The Jumping, in July

The Jumping Weiswampach is organised every year by the Cercle Hippique de l'Oesling, on a modern sand arena at the Weiswampach lake. Since 2017, dressage events have been added. Visit Éislek writes that the competition “is one of the most important equestrian events in the country”, and that it draws riders, enthusiasts and spectators. The access map is online on the organiser's website.

In 2026, the dressage days took place from 9 to 12 July, and the show-jumping events from Wednesday 15 to Sunday 19 July. Look out for the 2027 dates on the organiser's website, jumping-weiswampach.lu.

The Wämper Triathlon, in August

Visit Éislek places it in midsummer, with the lakes at the heart of the race. The 29th edition took place on Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 August 2026. The event's website names Wämper Musik, Wämper Frënn and Celtic Diekirch among its organisers. The 2026 programme:

• Saturday: the youth and children's races, then the sprint (750 m swim, 20 km bike, 5 km run), the relay for teams of three and the beginners' triathlon;
• Sunday morning: the Wämper Lof running races, from 750 m to 10 km;
• Sunday at 13:05: the international Olympic-distance triathlon (1.5 km swim, 40 km bike, 10 km run).

For athletes, the 2026 rules made helmets compulsory, allowed drafting, used chip timing, banned aero bars and allowed disc brakes. Online entries closed on 17 August, with the option of entering on site on the day. Look out for the 2027 dates on triathlon.lu.

The Euro Gespann Treffen, in late August

At the end of August, the Euro Gespann Treffen, or European Sidecar Meeting, brings sidecar enthusiasts together by the lake. Crews come from many countries, and a campsite set up near the lake hosts the participants, according to Visit Éislek. It's also a chance to see plenty of unusual motorbikes up close.

We haven't found an official website for the organiser. Look out for the dates in Visit Éislek's Discover Weiswampach guide and in the commune's events calendar.

St Martin's Day, 14 November 2026

The next event is just around the corner. The St Martin's celebration takes place on Saturday 14 November 2026, in the marquee at the Centre de Loisirs, according to the commune's events calendar. The programme:

• 14:00: coffee, cakes and a collection for donations in the marquee;
• 17:00: the celebration, with a short play performed by the children and St Martin's songs, then the lantern parade behind St Martin on horseback and the sharing of the cloak by the fire;
• 18:30: a little brioche man, the “Boxemännchen”, for every child, with barbecue food, drinks and chestnuts.

On Saturday evening, our restaurant serves from 17:30. A table after the parade, and the night here: that's the idea for a November weekend in Weiswampach.

Between events

The lake has plenty to keep the competitors' companions busy. The Arnica trail, 7.51 km, starts at the lakeside and follows the shore in places. Children have the boat-shaped playground and the plant maze. It's all set out in our article Things to do in Weiswampach, along with what the commune says about swimming.

After a long day on the sidelines, one Booking review describes a late arrival:

“We were checked in at 10:30 PM, quickly and very friendly. We were offered two cups of coffee.” (Iryna, Ukraine · Booking)

And at the restaurant, for groups who hadn't called ahead:

“We turned up unexpectedly with a large group, but they kindly made room for us.” (Christa V. · Google review, translated from Dutch)
