ドゥーの滝・トップ20

The waterfall is impressive even when it's carrying little water. Unfortunately, it can only be seen from the small path leading down from the road. The area at the base of the waterfall is private and extensively fenced. I found that a shame.

The Saut du Doubs is a 27-meter-high waterfall located along the Doubs River, which forms the border between France and Switzerland here. The waterfall is the result of a paleohistoric landslide that filled the narrow, gorge-like Doubs Valley, which cuts deep into the limestone formations of the Folded Jura, about 14,000 years ago.

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.

The source of the Loue River is announced by the rushing water even before you see it. It's impressive and magical to stand beneath the 150-meter-high cliffs and watch the river rush out of its cave.

The spring is simply gigantic and there aren't too many tourists - at least when we were there.
