Beautiful mountain lake in the Jura. Can be cycled around by bike. With me there was unfortunately torrential rain, the circumnavigation I had to cancel.

This small road which passes by the Col de Landoz-Neuve starting from Mouthe to join the Lac de Joux is very little frequented and never controlled. You will pass through Switzerland without realizing it.
