The Herver Land is in the north of the Province of Liège and marks the transition from the Belgian Ardennes to the Dutch Heuvelland. The hilly landscape is characterised by pastures and orchards, framed in turn by typical hedgerows. The village of Hauset is in the eastern foothills of the Herver Land. As well as the pastures, woods made up of a mosaic of deciduous and coniferous trees are typical of the area around Hauset. On the pastures of the region there is a tradition of farming with dairy cattle. The area has that circumstance to thank for its nickname 'butterländchen' ('butter country').
