breathtaking landscapes

An absolute highlight that the Jura has to offer. A magnificent route!

The route between Moutier and Delémont is a beautiful route, with mainly decent asphalted surface but there are some places near the industrial areas where the asphalt is a bit rough but overall good a surface. Geological speaking it offers a lot of unusual rock formations creating nice backgrounds for photos. The route and following the River Birse which flows all the way to Basel.

Magnificent spot, little traffic

From Boécourt you have the option of cycling up to La Caquerelle (852m). Over 3.5km you have to overcome 250m of elevation with a medium gradient of 4-5%, with small peaks of 8-10% after leaving Boécourt. You roll past the Carrière "La Malcôte" quarry, where you can see the impressive layers of limestone. Further on, after the village of La Malcôte, you have a beautiful view of the wide countryside.

Short, sharp climb from Bas du Maupas up to Sornetan. With an average gradient of 7-9% with small peaks of up to 12%. The asphalt is great, you can also roll downhill.

The view into the Guldental is great.

Imposing grotto and at the same time a place of pilgrimage. Here you should switch from the hiking trail near the bridge to the road and pause for a moment and enjoy the gentle coolness and refresh yourself with the water from the Karlsquelle (which is said to have healing powers). A small karst spring arises inside the cave. The water flows as a trickle from a stalagmite into a shallow basin. There is a crucifix under the entrance arch of the grotto, dedicated to Saint Columba of Sens, a 3rd century martyr. The place has been the destination of a pilgrimage on August 15th since the 13th century. The spring water is said to have miraculous healing powers.
