"The name means '1,000 springs'. It is true that the gorges created by the Sorne include an impressive number of springs, where water gushes from the limestone rocks when it rains heavily. A path leads up from the cantonal road to an impressive dam caught between the rugged walls of the gorges. The dam gives rise to the Lac Vert, a scenic treasure. Split into two, the river flows into the lake. Another spring casts its waters to one side. As you continue on the path along the lake, you cross the border between the two cantons of Jura and Bern. The path ends at the foot of one of the three waterfalls upstream of the lake. It is a magical, wild, calm and wonderful place where you will meet ramblers and a few anglers, who are more inclined to enjoy the place than catch any fish. Mind you, the trout around here are excellent."
