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.
