    The confluence of the Ourthe and the Meuse is a scenic spot in the Belgian city of Liège, where the two rivers meet and merge. The Ourthe is a tributary of the Meuse that originates from the union of two branches, the Western Ourthe and the Eastern Ourthe, in the Ardennes region. The Ourthe flows through picturesque towns such as La Roche-en-Ardenne, Hotton and Durbuy, before joining the Meuse near the Angleur district of Liège.

    The confluence of the Ourthe and the Meuse is also a historical site, as it was here that the Battle of Liège took place in 1914, during the First World War. The Belgian army defended the city against the German invasion, using a ring of 12 forts around Liège. The forts were bombarded by heavy artillery and eventually surrendered, but the resistance of the Belgians delayed the German advance and allowed the French and British troops to mobilize.
