Geography


The Bocq originates in Scy, Condroz, at an altitude of 305 meters (1,001 ft). On its way it passes through the villages of Mohiville, Achet, Hamois, Emptinne, Sovet, Braibant and Spontin. From this village, the valley gets woodier. In Bauche, it receives the waters of its main tributary, the Crupet. After 45 kilometres (28 mi), the Bocq empties into the right bank of the Meuse in Yvoir, at an altitude of 90 meters (300 ft). Its average slope is 0.48% and the surface area of its basin is 230 square kilometres (89 sq mi).
