발랑긴 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

We cross the industrial zone via Rue des Tunnels, then we gain altitude by returning to Rue de Saint-Nicolas. We continue along Chemin du Petit-Pontarlier, which overlooks the Vauseyon basin.

Here, the river, still rushing and noisy, gives the atmosphere a particularly pleasant freshness during hot summer days.

We then take a metal staircase to descend into the Gor du Vauseyon valley. This immersion in this unique site, where the river has sculpted the stone, is a true time machine: from the 16th century onwards, the force of the water powered mills and sawmills here. The Maison du Prussien, now a hotel-restaurant, and the remains of the Moulin Chambrier bear witness to this pre-industrial era.

Visit to the castle and little train for children

This panoramic view over Lake Neuchâtel and the Creux du Van is simply worth seeing.

technically great course

Anyone who passes this point cannot help but wonder who or when this impressive stretch of road was built. It somehow transports us back to the time of the Romans and Helvetians. Who knows? Perhaps it was just a simple construction worker named Gustave Dubois (name fictitious) who built it in 1963 on behalf of the city of Neuenburg. Of course, it is all pure speculation. Perhaps one day, someone will explain it to us. We are excited. Until then, however... for us it remains a path from the time of the Romans and Helvetians. ;-)
