ジャレの滝・トップ20

Adventure tours, amusement park, kayaking or just marveling, there can be a lot going on here.

The Coo waterfall is artificial. Starting from a simple waterfall that appeared in the 15th century, the monks of Stavelot Abbey dug the large waterfall, crossing a meander of the river, to protect the village of Petit-Coo. The fact remains that it is very impressive and at its height of 15 meters is the pride of Belgium.

The name Bilisse is said to be of Celtic origin: bîl means distinctive and smooth or less and comes from Lech (stone). Hence bîllech = protruding rock! Source: https://www.sparealites.be/solwaster

Done last week, paths perfectly accessible just a small detour just before you get to the Pont de Centenaire. The valley is super nice for walking.

The waterfall is one of the highest in Belgium with a drop of 15 meters. There is a staircase between the two waterfalls, from where you can admire the impressive flow of water masses. The falls are a tourist attraction so there are a few cafes nearby.
