Nice hike with parking and picnic area nearby. The path leading to the spring is a bit steep and can be slippery if it rains. The Sabinus cave is worth the detour, watch out for children when going there.

The Montarlot tumulus was built between the two Iron Ages, from 600 to 450 BC. It measures nearly 20 m in diameter and a total height of 1.30 m. (Source: 4 Rivières Tourist Office) Unfortunately, it is relatively overgrown with scrub.

At the foot of this statue of the Virgin Mary overlooking the village of Montarlot-lès-Champlette, there is a bench that offers a beautiful view of Champlitte and its surroundings, as well as the Jura and the Alps. The statue is located along the Sentier des Chèvres, a pretty single-track passage along the edge of the hill (very nice for mountain biking!).

A few mud puddles even in summer. Peace and quiet guaranteed. Best route to reach Corlée à la Liez as it is along the canal.

A beautiful local recreation area for hiking, swimming, and other recreational activities. The path around the lake is more suitable for hiking than cycling. We still managed it, though.
