Saut de Gouloux, Natural waterfall in Morvan, France.
Description
Saut de Gouloux is a waterfall that drops over a granite cliff into a forested valley in the Morvan region. The water falls into a pool surrounded by moss-covered rocks and thick vegetation.
History
The site once served as a wood floating port where logs were sent downstream toward markets and factories. This activity shaped the area's economy for several centuries before modern transportation took over.
Culture
Near the waterfall, wooden clogs are still crafted using methods that have been passed down through generations in this Burgundy region.
Practical
Two walking paths lead to the waterfall: an easier route of about 800 meters and a steeper trail of roughly 1 kilometer. Both start from the parking area and are manageable for visitors with basic fitness levels.
Did you know?
A listening point near the river allows visitors to experience the amplified sounds of the falling water in a focused way. This spot is often overlooked, but adds a sensory dimension that makes the visit more memorable.
