Catalogue information
Addressed to Spoorwegstraat 16 Beringen, LImburg Belgium. Postmarked Coo and Tongeren 10 May 1951. Stamp N ° 422 20 centimes, year of issue 1936 The waterfalls of Coo, in the river Amblève, with a height of 15 meters are often considered the highest waterfalls in Belgium. The tourist office of the parent municipality of Stavelot indicates 13 meters. The highest waterfall in Belgium, however, is the Reinhardstein waterfall in the Warche valley. This waterfall is even 60 meters high. The small waterfall already existed in or before the 15th century. The large waterfall was created by monks in the 17th century by the Prince Abbot of Stavelot, probably to protect the Petit-Coo, situated on the meander, against flooding. Today, the waterfall is a tourist attraction, owned by Studio 100.
