ポミーの湖・トップ17

The Creux de Terre near Yverdon-les-Bains is an impressive karst sinkhole and also a significant nature reserve. The basin was formed by geological processes in which limestone sank, forming a funnel-shaped basin. Today, the area is home to moist meadows, ponds, small forests, and rich biodiversity. Amphibians such as frogs, toads, and newts find ideal living conditions here. Numerous bird species also breed or rest in the reserve. Walking trails with information panels lead through the basin and explain its geology, flora, and fauna. The Creux de Terre is easily accessible from nearby Yverdon.

Currently, the walkways on the shore have been demolished and some passages are impassable.

Very nice sandy beach, perfect for relaxing.

Camp Pittet is the ideal place to immerse yourself in protected nature. There are two options (apart from the fact that there are also guided tours). Either you go along the paths on your own and climb the viewing platform, or you go to the center, including the exhibition and more, and can then immerse yourself in nature - without having to cross the main street (pedestrian tunnel). The last variant has the advantage that you can also visit the observation station when you enter (code-secured). An absolute MUST for nature lovers, bird and/or water bird fans! https://www.pronatura-champ-pittet.ch/de Note on the bike: NO, I DID NOT DRIVE!

Beautiful sandy beach with campsite.

Just enjoy the scenery, and the ice coffee at the restaurant next door

Beautiful large sandy beach. Playground and restaurant at the Menthue campsite in the East. Out of season, accessible by bike (be careful of the sand in the cogs). A Mediterranean atmosphere separates the beach from the road. View towards the North along the length of Lake Neuchâtel.
