Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

Not suitable for children. Very dangerous, but beautiful.
Recommended for adults who are not afraid of heights.

Gorges de Nouailles

Highlight • Other

This section of road which ventures into the Nouailles gorges, transforms as the descent progresses into a gigantic canyon overlooking the Loue valley.

The cliffs are impressive in places.

It's a marvel to explore that gives a little air of adventure and a lot of fun.

Syratu Waterfall

Highlight • Other

The Cascade de Syratu is an impressive waterfall that cascades over the rocky cliffs of the Baume above Mouthier-Haute-Pierre in the Doubs department. With a total height difference of 230 metres, it is the largest waterfall in the department.
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.

Village of Lods

Highlight • Other

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.
