2020 - Bonjour Jura Pelancong
First Trip - back on the road again!
12 Juni 2020, Swiss ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Finally , Lockdown is over and Holidays begins. We got the Camper Pasqualino out of his dark den and drove straight to Salavaux, next to Lake Murten. The local campground was packed, mainly from regions who had a public holiday on Thursday...
We have to get used again to European standards 😳 Small sites and less privacy, main life is around facilities (restaurant, shop, shower, toilets, washing dishes)...not what we were used to in the US.
Take away Pizza for the first night - sunny and warm evening though!Baca selengkapnya

Beautiful Murten - magnifique Morat
13 Juni 2020, Swiss ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Summer Day, ready for action! We took our bikes and 9kms later we have arrived in the historic old town of Murten.
The beautiful little place was definitely worth a visit. It was quite busy for Saturday and after coffee, shopping, climbing the city wall we then closed the visit with a nice lunch with a view over the lake...
The weather change was approaching so we hit the pedals and cycled the other (longer) side around the lake back to the camping. We passed through little villages in Mont Vully region and were tempted to stop for a wine tasting...But facing the dark clouds we better hurried up. And we made it dry - the thunderstorm started once were safe back “home”!Baca selengkapnya

City Tour Avenches-Estavayer-Yverdon
14 Juni 2020, Swiss ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
Today - after a rainy night we went back on the road again.
First stop: Avenches. Impressive with its amphitheater! Then we stopped in Estavayer-le-Lac - with another historic city center with a castle of course. Impressive church as well.
Yverdon was our last stop before heading up into the Vallee de Joux, where we will stay overnight.Baca selengkapnya

Around “Lac de Joux”
15 Juni 2020, Swiss ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
How to discover the remote Vallée de Joux? Best by hiking or biking. We decided to cycle around the lake, approx 25kms it said. We started clockwise in Le Sentier and then soon realized that this side of the lake has cliffs. The bike path went steep up 😤 but once on top we biked through green meadows and saw some wildlife. A great downhill to Le Pont brought us back to lake level. Le Pont along the northern end of the lake looked like Tobermory in Scotland with the cloudy weather. The otherside of the lake to complete our loop was flat, less exciting...Baca selengkapnya

From Watch Valley to Route de l’Absinthe
15 Juni 2020, Swiss ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
After biking we were hungry and ended up in the Bellevue, just next to our campground. And it was not only nicely decorated but also good food.
We drove through Le Sentier and saw the factories of some luxury watches like Jaeger-Le-Coultre and Breguet.
We left beautiful Vallée de Joux and drove back to Vallorbe. The fastest route to our next destination went through FRANCE. And we left the country through reopened border for the first time. And here it was: Val de Travers, famous for its Absinthe🤢
We found a camping on a farm, very nice place!Baca selengkapnya

The Swiss Canyon: Le Creux du Van
16 Juni 2020, Swiss ⋅ 🌧 11 °C
We heard about it, we saw pictures of it and the Swiss Tourism is advertising it: the Swiss Grand Canyon. Le Creux du Van, based in the Val de Travers in the Jura of Neuchâtel. We drove to Noiraigue and started our 15kms hike up to the edge of the canyon. It took us 4 hrs and almost 1000m of elevation to complete our round trip but it was worth it. A stunning canyon with views over Jura and we enjoyed our picnic up there, with sound of an Alphorn as a background.
We wondered why so many people were up there and then found out, that you can drive up there 🙈Baca selengkapnya

In La Coué, close to Travers within Val-de-Travers, we found a nice campsite on a farm! It was very calm and we stayed for two nights!

Le Locle - Moulins souterrains!
17 Juni 2020, Swiss ⋅ 🌧 10 °C
In Le Locle we met Rita & Michel who joined us for two days. We first started underground by visiting the Underground Mills of Le locle. They used the caverns and its water to produce transmission for grain mill, saw mill and other useful things. It has been all installed and operated underground where a constant temperature of 7 degrees did definitely not provide a great work environment.
Later they only used the wheels to use the water power and all factories had been built outside.
Only in the 70ies the abounded site has been restored and made public.
We visited Le Locle and enjoyed “French” food. In La-Chaux-de-Fonds we stayed overnight and enjoyed another nice meal.Baca selengkapnya

Biaufond - Hike to the end of the world
18 Juni 2020, Swiss ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
After the rainy Wednesday we had better weather for our hike. We started in Les Bois and hiked into the valley where the River Doubs flows. It also marks the border in between CH and France.
The hike went through cow fields, forest and we ended up on a remote place called Biaufond, where the river is temporarily a lake (Lac de Biaufond). A bridge links boths sides and so we ended up grilling a Cervelat on the French side of the lake! 16 kms and 5hrs later we were back in Les Bois and were happy to have discovered a place in Switzerland where not many have been before.
Rita & Michel went home and we settled in a natural campground in Le Noirmont, Franches Montagnes. More Jura isn’t possible!Baca selengkapnya

St. Ursanne & Porrentruy
19 Juni 2020, Swiss ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
A rainy morning and a rest day in terms of activity, good time for local food shopping and discover more of the Jura.
We first visited picturesque St. Ursanne, nestled in between rocks and river Doubs. Normally very busy as it is a tourist hot spot, but today very calm. After walking through the streets and a little snack we went further north to Porrentruy. Also a nice place with old town and a castle sitting above the center.Baca selengkapnya

Bike Tour Mont Soleil - Crosins
20 Juni 2020, Swiss ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
Weather looks better - time for another bike tour. The wind turbines were waving at as the last days, time to visit Mont Soleil, home of Juravent and its 16 wind turbines. We made a loop, a mixture of several bike routes (good luck reading maps - thanks GPS). Paved road, gravel road, main road, mud road, meadow path - with several cow and horse gatherings in the middle of it.
We arrived on top of Mont Soleil, followed the turbines and ended up on Mont Crosin. After the boring downhill along the road we visited the Etang de Gruere, a natural lake. It looked like Canada ! After 46 kms we made it back to our campsite!Baca selengkapnya

Camping dans les Franches-Montagnes
20 Juni 2020, Swiss ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
After our first tranquil Thursday night in Jura Bivouac we decided to stay two more nights. You cannot have much more Jura Camping than here. Surrounded by typical Jura Nature with its green meadows and fir trees, horses and cows and only few campers (apart from Saturday/Sunday). Le Noirmont is also a central place to do activities.Baca selengkapnya

On the way out of Jura
21 Juni 2020, Swiss ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
Last day, summer is coming back 😡
We enjoyed another outdoor breakfast before packing up. We couldn’t leave without visiting the capital of Jura, Délémont. Nice old town but very deserted on a Sunday. We finally left the Jura via Laufental and stopped in Laufen for lunch. Another fortified old town and surprisingly busy with cyclists.
The second last stop before safe arrival at home was the dumping station along Highway A2 🤢Baca selengkapnya
