Hannut, Municipality in Wallonia, Belgium

Hannut is a municipality in Wallonia comprised of several distinct districts such as Abolens, Bertrée, and Moxhe. These areas blend rural landscapes with smaller populated centers to create a varied region.

In May 1940, Hannut hosted a decisive tank battle between German and French forces. This encounter is remembered as the first major armored clash of World War II.

The municipality maintains multiple languages, with French, Walloon, and Dutch serving as official means of communication throughout the region.

The municipality sits near the E40 European route, which offers connections to larger Belgian cities. TEC bus lines link the area to Landen railway station for straightforward access.

The municipality operates under a specific 30 kilometer per hour speed limit in urban zones, creating dedicated spaces for pedestrians and cyclists.
