Gorges du Doubs, Natural canyon in Neuchâtel, Switzerland.
The Gorges du Doubs features steep limestone cliffs rising 40 meters above the river, creating a deep canyon along the Swiss-French border.
The natural formation of the gorge occurred 12,000 years ago when a landslide created a natural dam, filling the upstream canyon with water.
The Doubs River system shaped local traditions, with communities developing water-powered industries and fishing practices along its banks.
Visitors can reach the gorges through hiking trails from Les Brenets or take a 20-minute boat ride followed by a 10-minute walk.
The Saut du Doubs waterfall, dropping 27 meters, marks the highest waterfall in the Jura Mountains with water flow reaching 70 cubic meters per second.
