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.
