Cheyres Nature Reserve

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

If you listen carefully, you can hear various animals here, such as frogs and birds, and with a little patience, you can even observe them. In the Grande Cariçaie, the name of the shoreline on the south and east shore of Lake Neuchâtel, you can also explore small, hidden beaches and read the information boards that tell you everything about the Grande Cariçaie and the nature reserve.
