August 20, 2021,"Pssst! Nicht stören, es ist grad soo schön!" Durch die Schlucht "Gorges de l'Areuse im "Val de Travers"
Gorges de l'Areuse. What a monumental spectacle! Our tour begins in Noiraigue, (pronounced Noiräg) right next to the public parking lot, (5 .- per day) and along the railway line. What begins rather unspectacularly at the beginning soon turns into a monumental natural spectacle of the roaring rushing kind. Both river and gorge now form a duet of numerous waterfalls, …

Today I hike for the second time through the Areus Gorge NE, it was also called the wild gorge, now you can call it the quiet gorge, the Areuse has almost no water.
I start in Noiraigue and finish in Boudry.
This enchanting hiking trail follows the sometimes babbling, sometimes roaring watercourse of the Areuse. It leads over stone bridges, …

The hike 🥾 through the dreamy Areuse Gorge begins in Noiraigue in the Val de Travers and leads over countless steps and bridges down to Boudry.

Halfway through the route, we recommend a visit to the Restaurant de La Truite 🐟 in Champ-du-Moulin with many regional specialties. The trout are highly recommended. Very nice …

the areuse gorge, the first half from noiraigue is nothing special apart from the stone bridge. the path was often wide and asphalted and I didn't particularly like it. after the delicious lunch at the hôtel de la truite (highly recommended), the path became narrower and rougher, leading over many narrow bridges and wooden walkways. I liked this part of …

The first 1.3 km next to the railway line, then another 850 m of buildings.
After a good 5 km there is a kiosk a few meters further a restaurant. The most beautiful section is through the first part of the gorge. On the last 7 …

A river, like a lucky bag. Whenever you think that's it, the Areuse turns it up again. Surprised, fascinated and charmed. And has been for over 100 years. In 1886 the association "Sentiers des Gorges de l'Areuse" was founded. Its goal: to maintain the paths, paths, stairs, railings and bridges along the Gorges de l'Areuse. And that's not a few. …

The Areuse gorge was our hiking destination today. So we got on the train early in the morning. Thanks to the tourist card, travel on public transport in the canton is free. We drove from Le Landeron via Neuchatel to Buttes, because first we wanted to take the cable car to Robella, but it wasn't open today, so we went …
