This hike does full justice to its name. The trail leads from Les Brenets near La Chaux-de-Fonds to St. Ursanne, almost always alongside the River Doubs and crossing the Doubs Regional National Park from west to east.
From Les Brenets, follow the Doubs to the impressive Saut du Doubs, a 27m high waterfall. The river widens into a mineral world to the Châtelot dam before sinking into deep gorges.
This stage goes through a thick and wild forest, house of many plant and animal species . It is hard to imagine just how much industry there was here 200 years ago. Today, only a few signs of this intense industrial activity remain.
