Sy is a village located in the Belgian municipality of Ferrières near the Ourthe in the province of Liège. It is located in the Famenne and lays south of Liège in the Belgian Ardennes. This is also the village where Belgian painter Richard Heintz (1871-1929) made some of his paintings and later died.

Tourism

Due to the village's close location to the Ourthe river, river tourism has become the most precious income to Sy. The village has a train station which runs along line 43. Most of its tourism comes from sport activities by the river such as canoeing, but hikes and climbing are also popular activities.[2]
