The Doubs is a wild and romantic Jura river that rises in France, briefly crosses into Switzerland and forms the border between the two countries in places. Its course is known for broad meanders, steep cliffs and tranquil fir forests – ideal for nature lovers.

A highlight is Lac des Brenets, a narrow, fjord-like lake formed by the Doubs.
At the end of the lake lies the Saut du Doubs: a waterfall around 27 m high, which can be reached on foot or by boat in complete relaxation. Boat trips are available around Les Brenets, offering the chance to experience the gorge landscape from the water.

Further east, in the Clos du Doubs near St-Ursanne, the river shows its gentler side – perfect for peaceful walks along the riverbank and picnics. Hikers can follow the “Au fil du Doubs” route for long stretches directly along the river through the regional nature park. Whether you choose a short trip to the waterfall or a longer discovery tour, the Doubs is a wonderful destination for anyone wanting to experience water, forests and rocks in a single Jura landscape.

Moderate hike. Good basic fitness required. Easy-to-follow paths. No special skills required. The starting point of the tour is accessible by public transport.
