April 29, 2026, Grand Étang de la Réselle

The Grand Étang de la Réselle is located near Delémont and is an idyllic pond in the middle of the forest. Surrounded by tranquility and nature, it offers a beautiful resting place for hikers. A circular path leads along the water and invites you to linger. Especially on warm days, the shady location provides pleasant coolness. The Étang is a rather unknown destination and therefore pleasantly quiet. In combination with the Vorbourg ruin, a varied hike can be planned.

Whether the body of water is truly a reservoir or more like an Alsatian carp pond, I cannot and will not judge – the location at the very back of the Lützeltal valley and the beautiful nature all around is wonderful nonetheless.

Fishing, why not? A bit of a strange location, but entertaining.

While the prosperous times in the town of Lucelle are over, the Lac de Lucelle is a nature reserve that captivates with its peace, idyll and beauty. The lake can be easily walked around on a well-developed nature trail, and there are many benches where you can watch the ducks and fish in the lake.
