Thanks Martin. Here again.

In various languages:~)
Heracleum sphondylium - Berenklauw | Berce commune | Hogweed |
Wiesen-Bärenklau


nearly :-)
H. mantegazzianum or giant hogweed

Be careful as it can cause skin irritation


And will take over yer riverbank. It is huge and invasive.
here is what is said on a belgian site:
Reuzenbereklauw, Heracleum mantegazzianum: een gevaarlijke plant!
which means keep the livestock and women indoors.

Interesting - very different leaf from the other hogweed, isn't it? Much
shinier.
