This waterfall is made up of several levels and flows over a total height of 90 meters. Only the first waterfall is visible.

On this site of around ten hectares, a path is proposed around the Rieutort stream, its dry stone terraces and various built elements.

The most beautiful view of the waterfall is obtained from the hamlet of Cubserviès. A belvedere has been set up to admire the waterfall and its 45-meter drop.

The origins of the Cubserviès waterfall
We find in this area of the Montagne Noire a very hard rock, gneiss, and another much softer: schist. Over the millennia, the Rieutort has dug its nest in the schist valley, but the hard rock has withstood erosion well. As a result, at the point of contact of these two rocks, one still present and the other greatly reduced by erosion, a large drop forms which gives rise to the waterfall. Downstream from the waterfall, the Rieutort continues its course towards the south-east and flows into the Orbiel, a left bank tributary of the Aude.

The steep slopes in the immediate vicinity of the waterfall are covered with thickets of chestnut trees. The old farmland located higher up is covered with young forests of pines, larches, spruces and douglas. In summer, this forest cover provides shade and coolness appreciated by hikers.
