The waterfalls of Coo on the Amel River, with a height of 15 meters, are among the highest in Belgium.

(ID 16819)


The waterfalls of Coo on the Amel River, with a height of 15 meters, are among the highest in Belgium. The small waterfall has existed since around the 15th century, while the large one was constructed in the 18th century on the orders of the Prince-Abbot of Stavelot, probably to protect Petit-Coo, located by the meander, from flooding. Nowadays, the waterfalls are a tourist attraction, and there is a restaurant and a small amusement park in the little valley. 03.08.10
