Au fil du Doubs
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.

Parc du Doubs - The hermitage chapel in the rock face is reached through a late Renaissance style door and 200 steps. Next to it is the grotto in which St Ursicinus is supposed to have lived, and a viewpoint with a wonderful view of the Doubs.

Leave the wild nature behind you and slowly come back to the real world before reaching the medieval town of St-Ursanne. There, the Doubs makes a sharp turn; perhaps this is where it gets ist name from - dubitus meaning the hesitant in Latin.
Mountain bike circular tour in 7 stages from Morteau (F) or Saint-Ursanne (CH). Look out for clues so you can break up a band of smugglers!
