Start at the following coordinates:

006°42.200’ E

You can start this cache from 2 different places:

- Park at Villers-le-Lac and board on a 14 km commented boat round-trip on the meanders of the river Doubs
- Or park at the following coordinates: 47°05.126’ N – 006°42.188’ E and walk to the start of the course (1h30. Easy to go, a bit difficult to come back because the slope is steep…)

Once you get to the starting point, climb up to the belvedere and enjoy these wonderful falls…
47°05.253’ N
006°42.790’ E

You are now 600 m far, as the crow flies, from the panoramic viewpoint you have to go to. Follow the GR footpath (GR5). Just after a GR marker in a bend, a quiet, small path will take you to a lovely, well hidden viewpoint.

Enjoy the view, but before suffering from vertigo or wanting to jump down, walk a little back. Around 15m … the cache is at the foot of a king of the forests.
