Inaugurated at the beginning of the 2000s, the Strépy-Thieu cable car is one of the finest technological feats of modern Belgian civil engineering. Located in the heart of the European river network, this building with its titanic dimensions allows the new generations of barges to bridge a height difference of 73.15 meters, making it the largest boat lift in Europe!

If you do the GR 412 (coal mine route), after Havré you will come across several boat lifts up to Bois de Luc
