ベルビエの滝・トップ20

The Chawion pond is a site of biological interest, with numerous amphibians and insects in the surrounding wetland.

Beautiful nature to walk through, adventurous trails next to a wild stream. 👌

In the mid-19th century, flooding from the Göhl River posed a major threat to the mine in Bleyberg/Plombières: Water repeatedly penetrated the tunnels and claimed lives. To prevent this, a diversion of part of the river was requested and approved in 1861. By 1862, a tunnel several hundred meters long was built beneath the rock, keeping the Göhl away from the mine. The construction cost approximately 200,000 francs. The tunnel is a technical monument to mining engineering from an era when hazards were deliberately controlled while simultaneously harnessing hydropower. It demonstrates how work-related accidents were prevented while simultaneously harnessing resources.

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

superb beautiful walk very easy!

The site of the former Plombières mine is home to species-rich calcareous grassland meadows, now protected as a nature reserve. The exceptional flora and fauna of this area are due to the heavy metal-rich soils, particularly the presence of zinc in the subsurface. Among the natural meadow relics, visible traces of the former metal industry can still be found: – Walls from former foundry floors – Remains of old smelting furnaces – Stones from former industrial buildings A small stream meandering through the area further enriches the ecological diversity of this special place. The "Gueule" viewpoint, which offers a glimpse into a cave opening, is particularly impressive and worth a visit.

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.

This waterfall was named after Queen Marie-Henriette, the wife of King Leopold II. A slightly larger waterfall upstream was dedicated to King Leopold II. Both waterfalls were inaugurated by the Queen on November 29, 1899.
