De Saut du Bouchot stort 28 meter naar beneden in een keteldal van groene kliffen, waarna het water tot rust komt in twee natuurlijke poelen. Het water schuimt, de met mos begroeide rotsen dempen het geluid en het hele gebied is sinds 1925 een beschermd natuurgebied \u2013 wat de volledige afwezigheid van horecagelegenheden of commerci\u00eble bebouwing verklaart. Het wilde karakter is onaangetast gebleven.<\/p>\n
Wat in eerste instantie verrassend is, is de nabijheid: vanaf de parkeerplaats (gratis, een paar plaatsen na de bocht bij de brug) is de waterval slechts 50 meter lopen. Ideaal voor jonge kinderen of senioren die geen lange wandeling willen maken.<\/p>\n
In de zomer trekken de twee natuurlijke zwembaden en de rotsglijbaan aan de voet van de rivier gezinnen aan om te komen zwemmen. De stroming is nog spectaculairder in de lente \u2013 tijdens de sneeuwsmelting \u2013 of na de herfstregens. Afhankelijk van het seizoen verandert de sfeer compleet.<\/p>\n
Een houten brug overspant de rivier vlakbij. Links daarvan bevindt zich een kleinere waterval, minder zichtbaar en minder bezocht, maar vaak net zo mooi en bijna altijd verlaten. De Jagerssteen ligt er vlak naast, voor wie nieuwsgierig is. Om de hoofdwaterval in volle glorie te fotograferen, moet je aan de rechterkant omhoog klimmen, maar door het mos zijn de rotsen erg glad: waterdichte schoenen zijn essentieel.<\/p>\n
In het hoogseizoen is de kleine parkeerplaats snel vol. Vroeg in de ochtend aankomen is dan ook de beste optie. Een ander alternatief: de Voie Verte des Hautes Vosges (Groene Route van de Hoge Vosges) loopt vlakbij, waardoor de locatie ook per fiets goed te bereiken is. Om uw uitstapje te verlengen, verbindt een rondwandeling van 13 km de locatie met de Batio-waterval en de Vierge de Rochesson.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":7008,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"class_list":["post-5340","decouverte-vosges","type-decouverte-vosges","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vosges-grandeur-nature.fr\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/decouverte-vosges\/5340","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vosges-grandeur-nature.fr\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/decouverte-vosges"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vosges-grandeur-nature.fr\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/decouverte-vosges"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vosges-grandeur-nature.fr\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7008"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vosges-grandeur-nature.fr\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5340"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
