On this road, you have a beautiful overview of the Plateau des mille étangs, which extends over 220m2 between Lure and Faucogney. This quantity of ponds is the result of the retreat of the glaciers which covered the Vosges until the last ice age, 12,000 years ago. This landscape offers great wealth for biodiversity, particularly with the presence of peat bogs. We call this region 'Little Finland', you will quickly understand why!

Approx. 300 m from the parking lot, the waterfall can be reached on a path, in summer there is less water, in spring with a lot of water it is a great sight

Going down by mountain bike is technically possible, going back up is more difficult but some people do.

A very nice place to ride through, quite different from what you usually find in the Vosges (you are actually in the Haute Saône department). The ride there is called "La petite Finlande" (the small Finland) and it does have a Nordic flavor :)
