A mi-aout le début était très faible. La paysage toujours autant beau. Profiteur d’observer les oiseaux nombreux qui batifolent dans le filet d’eau. Il est possible de voir aussi la chute de la queue de l’âne mais le chemin est plus technique. Visiter la chute de la queue de l’âne par le sentier du bas qui passe par la fontaine aux oiseaux.

Hiking round trip around Saint-Hubert in the Parc naturel régional du Haut-Jura (Jura Mountains Regional Natural Park)

The first 15 minutes of this walk are absolutely magnificent !: The gorge is amazing. But the suggested walk is not that great: the way up is mostly on paved roads; not interesting. If you want to do this walk as a 5-star walk, walk it clockwise: from the gorge, go up the very steep path (in the suggested direction it is the way down) to the belvedere. From there, I suggest that you retrace your steps, or take another small path through the forest.
