The waterfall is impressive even when it's carrying little water. Unfortunately, it can only be seen from the small path leading down from the road. The area at the base of the waterfall is private and extensively fenced. I found that a shame.

To the left of it there is a small airfield and an area for model airplanes.

Scattered along the forest trails around Châtillon-le-Duc and Tallenay, royal boundary stones mark former state territories. Engraved with the fleur-de-lis or royal letters, they served to demarcate the royal forests under the Ancien Régime. Today, they discreetly mark the paths.

The area around the waterfall is cordoned off, so that it is actually inaccessible and can only be seen from afar. The "standing seats" that have been set up are friendly, but do not really add value to the barbed wire. You can get closer to the waterfall from above, but you should do this with caution!!

Much too dangerous. I went through paths in the woods that were very narrow and difficult to access. The fall would have been fatal. I do not recommend this route

A small pond in the woods of Thise, you can see many aquatic insects, as well as newts and toads. Many animal tracks are present, so stay discreet and keep your eyes open 🦆🦌🐜

This section of the route is not pretty. It runs along a 4-lane road with a roundabout - I don't have good memories of traffic routing for cyclists!
