Tips from the Community
Hardly passable, bike fence crossings blocked with barbed wire. At the property there is a two-fold barbed wire fence and a steel gate barricaded with a chain and combination lock. E-bikers need a lot of muscle to hoist the bike over it

This village is located on the Loue, which has many waterfalls here. At high tide they provide quite a spectacle. On the other bank you will see the buildings of the old forge. lods is an old wine growing village. There are still many wineries from the 16th and 17th centuries, close together.

The Loue is largely a vast underground river and its source a resurgence which emerges from the immense underground network of the Jura limestone plateau. The place, located in a canyon, is spectacular and worth a stop. If you want to escape the summer heat, this is the perfect place.

Ranked among the most beautiful villages in France, Lods is worth the detour with its pretty old houses and the Loue which crosses it, punctuated by dams. The village has a little more than 200 inhabitants today but the 1850 census counted 1,430, due to two important activities at the time: the forge and the vineyard. Both have left their mark: you can see the ironmasters' house near La Loue and visit the vine museum.
