Cascade de la Fouge, Natural waterfall in Cerdon, France.
The Fouge waterfall descends 160 meters through limestone cliffs in the Jura Mountains, creating multiple cascading levels of water flow.
The waterfall formed over millions of years as water eroded the limestone layers of the Jura Mountains, shaping the current geological formation.
Local outdoor communities regularly organize guided nature walks to the waterfall, teaching visitors about the regional flora and fauna.
Access to the waterfall requires a 15-kilometer round trip hike through marked trails, starting from a small parking area that fits 4 vehicles.
Since February 2022, the municipality posted warning signs about rockfall risks, yet the site remains accessible to those accepting personal responsibility.
