Cascade du Bayehon

Cascade du Bayehon is a waterfall in the Ardennes region that descends nine meters from a mountain stream into a large pool. Dense oak and fir forests frame the water as it falls into the basin below.

The waterfall is part of a river system that developed during the last ice age and shaped the Ardennes mountains. The Bayehon stream continues to follow the same path it has taken for thousands of years.

The site has long attracted hikers and nature lovers from the surrounding area who regularly use and maintain the trails. Local visitors return to experience the sound of water falling through the forested landscape.

The area is explored via marked trails that wind through the forests and offer varying difficulty levels. It is wise to wear sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing, as paths can become slippery especially after rain.

Water volume changes dramatically with the seasons, reaching peak levels during spring snowmelt and after heavy rain. In dry summer months, the water flow can diminish noticeably.
