The marina of Ittre

While it is true that lock 5F in Ittre in Roman Païs , with the inclined plane of Ronquières and the present Charleroi canal upstream, have allowed passage of 1350 tonne barges since 1968, it is interesting to note that the big water movements and their consecutive waves, caused by the various lockage procedures, have been attenuated by the development of enlargements, upstream and downstream from the lock.And it is precisely in the upstream enlargement that the marina of Ittre has been situated, bringing with it a wide range of activities, from various water sports, to more peaceful walks in a bucolic environment.
