The source of the Doubs River is a powerful karst spring in a heavily karstified area of the Jura Mountains. It lies at an altitude of 937 meters at the foot of the forested, up to 1,419-meter-high Mont Risoux mountain range, which straddles the border between France and Switzerland. The Doubs River rises from a small, approximately five-meter-deep spring basin in a cave in the rock.
