first a big puddle, because you could still push sideways. Then a tractor came towards us - so back. Then the whole road was a small lake with a muddy bottom and a tractor on the side prevented the road from being passed. The young forest worker at the tractor wasn't interested in us. I drove through (my engine almost in the water), it was not possible for my wife. The boy's father then pushed the bike through first (while his son yelled a few angry comments at him). And then he drove my wife across the lake in his tractor. I still put these pictures online, I couldn't access them.

This cascade flows into a bowl of very deep natural water (the gour). A local legend says that a cow fell in it and that it was never found! Very easily accessible place.

A few km after its source, the Lison flows between gorges. Its bed is punctuated by small tuff waterfalls very distant from each other, which thus form vast expanses of calm water between each waterfall. a quiet and beautiful place.
