Cascade du Bief de la Ruine, Waterfall in Foncine-le-Bas, France

The Cascade du Bief de la Ruine flows through thirteen successive drops over a length of 350 meters, with a total height of 110 meters.

The waterfall runs under a viaduct that was constructed for an old tramway line, marking the industrial development of the Jura region.

This natural formation represents a crucial element in the Haut-Jura Regional Natural Park, contributing to the regional identity of Franche-Comté.

Two observation platforms provide views of the waterfall: one along Road D127 for an overall perspective and another at the tram viaduct via hiking trail GR559A.

The waterfall contains the highest single drop in the Jura Mountains, measuring 20 meters in height among its thirteen cascading sections.
