While the prosperous times in the town of Lucelle are over, the Lac de Lucelle is a nature reserve that captivates with its peace, idyll and beauty. The lake can be easily walked around on a well-developed nature trail, and there are many benches where you can watch the ducks and fish in the lake.

The Source du Doubs is a powerful karst spring in a heavily karstified area of the Jura Mountains. It is located near Mouthe, in the Haut-Jura Regional Nature Park, at an altitude of 937 m at the foot of the wooded, up to 1419 m high Mont Risoux mountain range, which marks the border between France and Switzerland. The Doubs rises from a cave in the rock from a small, approximately five-meter-deep spring basin. The spring discharges an average of 1740 litres per second and is the exit of a complex cave system with several siphons. The discharge can vary greatly. Several layers of rock can be distinguished on the rock above the spring. Below the spring, the river plunges down over a small waterfall. About two kilometers below the Source du Doubs, the approximately nine-kilometer-long Cébriot flows into the Doubs.

At this point / I would like to quickly / say something about the source And specifically to quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 - 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his wit and "Another poem", with a short four-line line: "There is certainly a lot of beauty in the element, the wet. Because you can drink the water. But you can also - not." (H.Erhardt)

The Largue has its source in Oberlarg at an altitude of 500 m, near the Swiss border, and flows into the Ill at Illfurth after traveling 46 km. In the 19th century, it provided energy for 53 mills spread across 34 villages.

Lake Lucelle is the smallest in Switzerland and is located in a protected natural area near the French border. The trail around the lake is a comfortable and mostly flat 2km loop, with only 30m of elevation gain and loss. You can enjoy the view of the sparkling water, colorful vegetation and secluded houses on the other side of the lake. Whether you want to run fast or slow, Lake Lucelle offers a delightful experience for trail runners of all levels.

In Lucelle you have the possibility to get supplies at the gas station. I didn't see anything to stop by. But I wasn't looking for it either. At the lake there are benches in the sun and in the shade. The fauna on the lake was rather sparse. The small stream with the tiny waterfall is quite picturesque. But the place is nice for a short rest and pause.
