This belvedere is installed just above the cliffs from which the waters of the Doubs flow.
On this promontory you can also admire the superb peat bogs of Mouthe in the background, and the forest of Haute-Joux in the background.

Hiking
The source of the Doubs River is a powerful karst spring in a heavily karstified area of the Jura Mountains. It lies at an altitude of 937 meters at the foot of the forested, up to 1,419-meter-high Mont Risoux mountain range, which straddles the border between France and Switzerland. The Doubs River rises from a small, approximately five-meter-deep spring basin in a cave in the rock.
