The Hoëgne and the "Centenary Bridge" ("pont du centenaire")

The Hoëgne has its source at an altitude of 660 metres near the Baraque Michel. It meanders through the fagnard peatlands. The Centenary Bridge was built in 1930 to mark the 100th anniversary of Belgian independence. At this point the slope steepens and the Hoëgne becomes a torrent as far as the Belleheid Bridge, at an altitude of 380 metres. The Hoëgne was the site of important iron ore mining in the past centuries.
