April 15, 2025,Kloster Baume-les-Messieurs und die Tuffkaskaden im französischen Jura... mit Karl

The absolute highlights today were the Baume-les-Messieurs monastery, the tuff cascades, and the enormous valley head made of rock! Very impressive!

April 15, 2025,Frankreich: Baume-les-Messieurs - Cascade des Tufs

The second of today's three short hikes was the most impressive.

The village itself, picturesquely nestled between rock faces and wooded ridges, is definitely worth a visit. The picturesque houses and the former Benedictine monastery, which looks back on over 1,000 years of history, are definitely worth a visit.
