Lesser-known, but still charming Belgian cascades and outlooks nearby.
Given the country's flat reputation, I was very impressed by Belgium's biggest waterfalls, which motivated me to keep my eyes open for more. Sure enough, I found others to brighten my mood, and this collection came to be.
Cascade de la Chaudière, Ninglinspo.
A notable place is Ninglinspo, which includes multiple falls along a scenic valley.
Bain De Venus, Ninglinspo.
What's more, when one gets out of the valley, nice views of rolling landscapes open up, and a few interesting castles and caves in its proximity add to the experience.
That is the connecting feature of all the falls here: there's always some neat scenery close by. Sometimes, it can be another cascade: From Ninglinspo, one can get to Haldeboeuf.

Not too far from Haldeboeuf is the Domain of Bérinzenne.

Having the other points of interest means that even if the waterfalls wouldn't warrant a day trip, it's fine. Since the trip doesn't center on the falls, they became an addition to a continuous experience. And it is good that it is that way, as some rivers can be rather dry in the summer. The Cascade de Nutons, for example, looked like this last summer:

Once again, it was okay, as the cascade is just off the lovely High Fens.
Gileppe
Unlike the Cascade de Nutons, I found the next waterfall fabulous in all seasons.
It is on an unnamed Getzbach tributary, about halfway between the Eupen Reservoir and Monschau.

Finally, there's the Robertville spillway:

A few minutes away from which are postcard-like views of Reinhardstein Castle and more.
