Hiking
If you are looking for a great adventure in the heart of the Jura, you should visit the Creux de Glace, a natural hole that hosts a small glacier all year round. The bottom of the hole is approximately 40 meters deep and 30 meters wide. The walls bear historical inscriptions left by the Anabaptists who exploited iron ore there in the 16th century. The Creux de Glace was also used as a natural refrigerator by local farmers until the mid-20th century.

Exciting natural spectacle - appearing very unassuming from the outside, as you only see the deep cave entrance.
