If you are looking for an exciting hike in the heart of the mysterious absinthe country, you should visit the Gorges de la Poeta-Raisse, near Môtiers. There you will discover the astonishing waterfall and Rousseau's cave, named after the famous philosopher who lived there. You will then follow the narrow and steep canyons dug by the Breuil stream, crossing several bridges and wooden staircases. You will be amazed by the beauty and diversity of this natural site, where water and rocks create a magical landscape. The Gorges de la Poeta-Raisse are a must-see place for nature lovers and adventurers.
