    At the source of the Loue, you are faced with a steep rock wall 150 meters high, which forms a spectacular cirque. It is from this monument that the Loue springs.

    The site is easily accessible and is via marked GR trails.

      The mighty karst spring was also one of the favorite places of the painter Gustave Courbet, who came from nearby Ornans. The water that comes out here comes mostly from the upper Doubs to Pontarlier, similar to the Aachtopf with the water from the Danube.
