Not suitable for children. Very dangerous, but beautiful. Recommended for adults who are not afraid of heights.

You can still see some old and newer buildings at the source of the Loue, as well as bridges and walls that probably belonged to the former mills here.

The source of the Loue River is announced by the rushing water even before you see it. It's impressive and magical to stand beneath the 150-meter-high cliffs and watch the river rush out of its cave.

The Loue draws charming landscapes known through the paintings of Gustave Courbet. In addition to Ornans, the most beautiful village in the valley, other places are worth exploring on the surrounding paths, such as this bridge located a little further upstream.

Vulliafans with around 700 inhabitants in the Doubs department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region - a magical place with the Pont Vieux - this bridge with its 3 arches was built in the 17th century. Further into the town center there are numerous town and farm houses that were built in the characteristic style of Franche-Comté in the 16th to 18th centuries. One of the oldest houses is the former manor house La Forteresse from the 14th/15th century. The really beautiful thing is the authentic flair.
