The Henri Fontaine stream rises between Cras-Avernas and Bertrée, then irrigates several villages in the commune of Hannut before crossing the reserve at Grand-Hallet. Its source has long been linked to watercress cultivation, which requires good quality water.

Hiking
The Sept Fontaines nature reserve extends in Hannut on a part of the valley where the Henri-Fontaine flows, where many vegetation elements have disappeared, also on other territories municipalities. Stagnant water, a gently sloping river, dry reed beds, ruderal scrub, alluvial alder-ash forests, alluvial meadows... all bear witness to what could be observed less than a century ago in most valley bottoms, before the significant intensification of land use. The site is part of the main ecological structure of Hannut, as a core area.
