Vyle-et-Tharoul Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The church of Vyle-et-Tharoul is a Catholic church dedicated to Saint Martin, located in the village of Vyle, in the commune of Marchin, in the province of Liège. It dates from the 19th century and replaced an old 18th century church, which retained a 12th century Romanesque choir. The current church features a neo-Gothic style and contains notable works of art, such as a small marble mausoleum and colorful stained glass windows. It is part of the pastoral unit of Marchin-Modave and regularly hosts masses and celebrations.

Le Hoyoux River

Highlight • River

Crossing the Condroz, the Hoyoux rises in Buzin, a village in the municipality of Havelange, at an altitude of almost 300 metres. It then flows through villages and hamlets, over hills and through valleys, before finally flowing into the Meuse at Huy, at an altitude of 70 metres.

This significant difference in altitude makes the Hoyoux one of the steepest rivers in Wallonia.

View of Roche aux Corbeaux

Highlight • Climb

The Roche aux Corbeaux is a rock massif in the Belgian Ardennes, near the village of Bohon. It is a popular destination for climbers, who can find around 20 routes, mainly in grades 5 and 61. The massif is located on the grounds of Vivaqua, a water company, and is therefore not freely accessible. Climbers must apply for permission from the Climbing and Mountaineering Federation (KBF) to be allowed to climb there.
