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

The village of Nans-sous-Sainte-Anne is remarkable for the scale of its landscapes, the rhythm of the mountains and depressions. It knows how to combine in a restricted space the charm of the foliage and the fir trees with the austerity of the rock walls, the impetuosity of the waterfalls with the intimacy of the undergrowth, the mystery of the caves with the picturesqueness of the belvederes.

The Cascade de Syratu is an impressive waterfall that cascades over the rocky cliffs of the Baume above Mouthier-Haute-Pierre in the Doubs department. With a total height difference of 230 metres, it is the largest waterfall in the department. The waterfall consists of several levels: The upper part begins with an almost vertical drop of 50 metres from the edge of the plateau at a height of 600 metres. This is followed by a second vertical drop of 32 metres, which brings the water to the level of the road. The lower part of the waterfall extends over a wooded slope and ends at the Loue river, where there are several waterfalls covered with tufa. To get a general view of the waterfall, you should climb up the left bank after crossing the old bridge over the Loue. The middle part of the waterfall is visible from the road that goes up to the gorges. The lower part, with its wild tuff massifs, can be reached on foot via paths that start on either side of the small bridge over the Syratu stream.

The valley is beautiful, the rock walls down to the road and... the Lison flows very quietly, without any fuss like the last few kilometers.

Beautiful path to the waterfall. Suitable footwear is recommended when it is wet.

Finally there is an alternative in an otherwise almost gastronomic landscape. There is now a gastronomic commitment again here: https://aubergedupontdudiable.com

This section of road which ventures into the Nouailles gorges, gradually transforms as it descends into a gigantic canyon overlooking the Loue valley. The cliffs are impressive in places. It is a marvel to explore which gives a little air of adventure and a lot of pleasure.
