Description of the route by the creator

A walk along the 7 Hérisson waterfalls (the most visited natural site in Franche-Comté!). There's little difficulty, just follow the signs. Then take the path in the opposite direction. It can start either from the Ilay parking lot (downhill then uphill) or from the Maison des Cascades (the other way round).
