The Coo Waterfall is a waterfall on the Amblève river in Stavelot, eastern Belgium, with a 15-metre drop. It lies in the Ardennes about 34 km in a straight line from Liège and 30 km from Durbuy. The smaller fall appeared in the 15th century, while the larger one was dug by the monks of Stavelot Abbey in the 18th century, cutting through a bend of the river to protect the village of Petit-Coo from floods. It is a well-known attraction, and a chairlift climbs to a viewpoint over the whole site. Roaring white water splits into two side-by-side falls between dark rocks and dense green trees, with an old arched stone bridge above them. A small pebble beach lies at their foot, and rainbows often appear in the spray on sunny days. The falls can be seen free from the bridge and the beach. Restaurants and a small amusement park sit beside them, so summer holidays are busy.
