    This is where the collection water from the largest cave system in the Doubs department comes from. Depending on the weather, sometimes more, sometimes less or not at all after a long period of drought.

        The Verneau is an underground river in the Franche-Comté Jura. It collects water from the Déservillers plateau and comes to the surface near Nans-sous-Sainte-Anne before flowing into the Lison.

        It is one of the largest underground rivers in France.

        During our visit, we found a notice saying that it is forbidden to enter the area around the spring or waterfall.
