Marc
September 10, 2025, Nice views over la Loue

Not suitable for children. Very dangerous, but beautiful. Recommended for adults who are not afraid of heights.

Please note that the trail has been closed since 2022. The original plan was to secure the trail until 2023, but it was then extended to 2024, but it was still closed in 2025.

You can still see some old and newer buildings at the source of the Loue, as well as bridges and walls that probably belonged to the former mills here.

Great paths lead along the Loue and offer beautiful views of the wild river.

The source of the Loue River is announced by the rushing water even before you see it. It's impressive and magical to stand beneath the 150-meter-high cliffs and watch the river rush out of its cave.
