From Wikipedia

Bivels (Luxembourgish: Biwels) is a small village in the commune of Putscheid, in the canton of Vianden, in north-eastern Luxembourg. As of 2026, it had 137 inhabitants. The village is located about 3 km north of Vianden along a 7 km long artificial lake. Once a poor farming village, it now benefits from the nearby hydroelectric power plant. In the 1960s, when the dam was built, the lower part of the village was flooded.
