We numerically investigate the influence of classical percolation on the quantum Hall localization-delocalization transition. This is accomplished within the framework of the generalized Chalker--Coddington network model which allows us to control the number of {\em classical} saddle points by setting the width $W$ of the saddle point distribution. It is found that increasing this width causes a new microscopic length scale to appear which depends on $W$ and scales with the exponent $X\approx 1.36$ which indicates a close connection to the classical percolation length $\xi$ and its exponent $\nu_p=4/3$. Furthermore, the influence of an increase in $W$ on the spectral statistics of the quasienergies of the network model is investigated. An effect similar to the increase of the potential correlation length in the Landau model is seen.
