Hidden in the moss-covered woods, this magical cave is a sight to behold. Although it is no longer permitted to enter the cave, its entrance is spectacular. Inside the cave there are submerged sections that have been explored by divers.

Starting from the hamlet of Bombois on the left bank of the Ain valley, a family walk in the forest leads to this waterfall with its funny name. Find "8 walks around water" in a booklet on sale for €2 at the Tourist Office
