Nice to linger

The Étang du Buron is a small, picturesque pond in the Vaud Jura, above Yverdon-les-Bains. Originally created artificially, it served to store water for agriculture. Today, it is a tranquil natural setting with high ecological value. The pond is surrounded by wet meadows, open forests, and species-rich riparian zones. Amphibians, dragonflies, and numerous birds use the area as a habitat. The Étang du Buron is easily accessible for walkers and cyclists and is a popular local recreation destination. Information boards and well-maintained paths invite you to explore nature in a relaxed atmosphere.

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.

Beautiful place to relax and look out over the vast lake.

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!

A lovely, relaxing spot for a break. There's a fire pit at one of the cabins. Picnic tables. No swimming.
