Nice viewpoint. There is a sign warning you about the descent directly towards the Loue source, but in dry weather it is, in my opinion, easily accessible for experienced hikers.

Source of the Loue

Highlight • River

The Loue is largely a vast underground river and its source a resurgence that emerges from the immense underground network of the Jura limestone plateau.

The place, located in a canyon is spectacular and deserves a stop. If you want to escape the summer heat, this is the place.

Source of the Loue and the Old Mill

Highlight • Natural Monument

You can still see some old and newer buildings at the source of the Loue, as well as bridges and walls that probably belonged to the former mills here.

Source de la Loue

Highlight • Cave

At the source of the Loue, you are faced with a steep rock wall 150 meters high, which forms a spectacular cirque. It is from this monument that the Loue springs.
The site is easily accessible and is via marked GR trails.
