Cascade de Battion, Waterfall in France

The cascade de Battion is a waterfall in the Vosges region, surrounded by forests and rock formations. Water flows steadily over rocky drops and gathers in pools below, while its constant rush fills the air.

The cascade de Battion lies on the commune of Rochesson in the Vosges massif. It is formed of several small successive falls rather than a single drop. The sources record no reservoirs, canals or mills at the site; the water descends a steep, uneven slope over dark rock coated in green moss, with small ferns among the boulders.
