From Planches-près-Arbois you have very open views of the Cirque du Fer à Cheval which closes the Arbois valley.

It is the ideal location to measure the magnitude of the proportions of this essential natural monument.

Petite source de la Cuisance

Highlight • River

Source of the Cuissance River with a dam. The amount of water flowing from the source is impressive, so much so that smaller waterfalls have formed immediately afterward.

Small sintered turf

Highlight • Other

Beautiful spot in the source area of the Cuisance, where several small sinter lawns have already formed.

October 13, 2023,23_10_13 🇫🇷 Mesnil-Arbois Cascade des Tufs

Another market visit in Arbois and before we leave the Jura and before the weather changes we go on a short, very nice hike in the afternoon. From Mesnil along the Cuisance it goes to Planches press Arbois and the Reculee des Planches. Beautiful turquoise pools and small waterfalls, the highlight being the Cascade des Tufs. How great might it …

A beautiful tour, but the ascents and especially the descents through the forest are strenuous when the ground is wet. Combined with the return on flat terrain, it's a pleasant loop, certainly better in summer due to the weather, although the flat route back to Arbois is sure to be hot, as it's in full sun.
