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 river Orbe has dug a real gorge. An arch bridge connects the two sides of Orbes almost on a flat route. Good view over the plain. The train passes under the bridge halfway.

The old-fashioned but charming town of Orbe is located on a hill in a meander of the Orbe. From the Place du Marché, decorated by a fountain with a standard bearer (1753), a small street leads to the reformed church from the 15th-16th century (naves with interesting keystones) and further to the terrace of the former castle, which offers a beautiful view of the lower city and the Orbe valley.

The old town, which consists of a lower and an upper part, is really kitschy and beautiful. Small shops, many restaurants, colorful facades and the castle characterize Orbe.

Historical place for railway freaks.

We didn't know how beautiful the town is and hadn't planned a visit. A reason to come again.
