Charmoille (Canton du Jura) walks

The walk begins at the site of Lucelle Abbey, isolated from the hustle and bustle of the world. The monastery was once a shining beacon and its history can still be seen in the few remaining buildings. From here, a Swiss getaway allows you to discover a curious rock shelter suspended above the river's source. You then climb back up to the plateau overlooking a valley enclosed between two wooded ridges and crossed by the winding waters of the Lucelle.

This is a pleasant hike where you will come across old farms and large boundary markers marking the Swiss border through a beautiful pine forest and, above all, the Abbaye de Lucelle, better known today as the "Centre Européen de Rencontres" (European Meeting Centre).

The landscapes you pass through here are among the most beautiful in the Sundgau region.

The hike has been modified and no longer passes by the Ferme de la Vacherie.
