The Loue Spring (tributary of the Doubs) is a resurgence of the Doubs. After journeying underground, it comes out into the open air at the bottom of a 'reculée' (steephead valley), at the foot of the rock face. It has cut deep into the limestone of the Jura massif, creating an enclosed valley, which I invite you to gaze at and contemplate from the many lookout points. You will also go down to the bottom of the gorge to discover this impressive resurgence.

Departure from Ferrières-les-Bois (Doubs)
This is a short country walk in a wide open, peaceful setting where you can enjoy the sunshine if you feel the need.
Avoid after a period of rain, as the bottom of the valley tends to turn into a bayou.
