Quiet connecting road between the towns of Lebetain and Villars-le-Sec. Asphalt is good. I didn't see anything of the actual highlight, "The Devil's Steps".

Porrentruy Castle is certainly the highlight of any city tour. Large parts of the castle are open to the public. From up here you can enjoy a fantastic view over the medieval town and its surrounding area. The centerpiece of the castle is the mighty Réfus Tower. It can be climbed up to the top of the tower roof, with a spiral-like external staircase leading to the entrance, which is 9 m above the ground. If you want to go up here, you should have a head for heights. Numerous "bilingual" information boards pass on their knowledge about the history of the castle to visitors. Behind the castle, there are lush meadows that invite you to take a walk. Anyone who is unable to walk can easily park their car behind the palace complex. There were even pitches for campers with electricity, etc. thought and behind the castle wall there is a clean toilet block. If you want to leave the castle towards the city, you can either do so via a spiral staircase or use the elevator.

Pruntrut is 443 m above sea level. M., 21 kilometers west-northwest of the cantonal capital Delsberg (as the crow flies). The city extends in a wide lowland on both sides of the Allaine, in the Ajoie (German Elsgau), at the northern foot of the Chain Jura. The stately old town of Porrentruy is in a slightly elevated position. The town and the botanical garden are worth seeing
