One of many bridges in the Orbe gorge. Be careful when it is damp or wet, the wood gets slippery very quickly!

Blue Bridge, Orbe Gorge

Highlight • Bridge

If you go there in spring, you will discover an amazing long cascade by the bridge.
The rocks by the river is also nice to see, so are the trees covered by moss.

Forest fireplace and picnic spot

Highlight • Rest Area

It has always distributed such barbecue areas throughout the gorge. Sometimes on the water, sometimes on the way up.

Orbe Waterfall and Dam

Highlight • Waterfall

The Orbe (German formerly Orbach) is the 67 km long, left and western source river of the Thielle (German Zihl) in the Jura department in France and in the canton of Vaud in Switzerland. Below Vallorbe is a barrage of the Orbe. The only tributary worth mentioning, the Jougnena, flows in here from the left. The Orbe then turns east and flows in a deep gorge with several waterfalls (Gorges de l'Orbe; ♁⊙) to the Swiss Mittelland.
