Syratu Waterfall
Highlight • Other
The waterfall consists of several levels:
The upper part begins with an almost vertical drop of 50 metres from the edge of the plateau at a height of 600 metres.
This is followed by a second vertical drop of 32 metres, which brings the water to the level of the road.
The lower part of the waterfall extends over a wooded slope and ends at the Loue river, where there are several waterfalls covered with tufa.
To get a general view of the waterfall, you should climb up the left bank after crossing the old bridge over the Loue. The middle part of the waterfall is visible from the road that goes up to the gorges. The lower part, with its wild tuff massifs, can be reached on foot via paths that start on either side of the small bridge over the Syratu stream.

The priory of Mouthier-Haute-Pierre
Highlight • Religious Site
The exact date of its foundation is not known, but it is said to have been established by Saint Eustace, abbot of the Abbey of Luxeuil, around 618. Mentioned as early as 870, it was one of the most important in Burgundy at that time.
In 1120, the priory was attached to the Abbey of Cluny.
The remains of the church, the cloister and the buildings of the religious and prior's quarters have been listed as historical monuments since 1996.

Old stone bridge in Lods
Highlight • Other
This arch was perhaps built in the 14th century.
During the construction of the N 67, several arches were covered. The bridge collapsed in 1916, but one arch was preserved as a souvenir.
The site, including the Loue waterfalls, the arch of the old bridge and their surroundings, was listed as a historical monument on 4 January 1943.
