The Grand Étang de la Réselle is located near Delémont and is an idyllic pond in the middle of the forest. Surrounded by tranquility and nature, it offers a beautiful resting place for hikers. A circular path leads along the water and invites you to linger. Especially on warm days, the shady location provides pleasant coolness. The Étang is a rather unknown destination and therefore pleasantly quiet. In combination with the Vorbourg ruin, a varied hike can be planned.

Whether the body of water is truly a reservoir or more like an Alsatian carp pond, I cannot and will not judge – the location at the very back of the Lützeltal valley and the beautiful nature all around is wonderful nonetheless.
