The Saut du Doubs

With an average annual discharge of 19.1 m3/s the Saut du Doubs is the second most powerful waterfall in Switzerland after the Rheinfall. Since the Doubs forms the border between Switzerland and France, it can be visited from both sides. The observation deck on the Swiss side allows visitors close contact above the case to the overflow edge and the Cascade range. A new bridge crosses the Doubs on the French side, where the Saut du Doubs on the torwards hillside can be viewed to his full size

Les Moulins souterrains

As a further attraction to visit the Moulins souterrains at the Col-des-Roches is recommended. The valley of Le Locle is naturally drained out through the Doubs cave system. Since the 16th century mills were installed in the caverns of this subterranean drainage; people worked here in inhuman conditions. Various flood in the valley of Le Locle induced the population, in the end of 19th century to build a canal and drain the water faster to Doubs out. The mills were drained, and the cave were from now on used as waste landfill. Since 1987, this cave system can be committed again thanks the enormous expense of cave explorers. Several underground waterfalls and a newly installed mill can be visited.
