The Syratu waterfall in Mouthier-Haute-Pierre

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.

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.

Ranked among the most beautiful villages in France, Lods is worth the detour with its pretty old houses and the Loue which crosses it, punctuated by dams. The village has a little more than 200 inhabitants today but the 1850 census counted 1,430, due to two important activities at the time: the forge and the vineyard. Both have left their mark: you can see the ironmasters' house near La Loue and visit the vine museum.

From the road you can admire the middle part of the Syratu waterfall, which is 32 meters high. It was channeled to pass under the road. With the upper and lower parts, the waterfall has a total height of 230 meters, from the edge of the rock plateau above you to the Loue. The waterfall marks the entry into the Gorges de Nouailles where the Loue flows.

Crossed by the Lison and its tributaries Nans-sous-Sainte-Anne is a pleasant village in which to take a break. From the 13th century, it was one of the first stops on the 'salt route' for convoys transporting salt from Salins Les Salines to Switzerland via the Jura passes. The bridge over the Lison was also the perfect place to collect the gabelle, the famous tax on salt in the Middle Ages.
