Nice walk to a cauldron valley with beautiful waterfall. At the back of the cauldron valley, which is dominated by peaks of more than 1000 meters, the waterfalls of Flumen seem to rule the world. The Flumen, "river" in Latin, is created by the flowing water from the lake of Lamouraen de Hautes-Combes. He sweeps his way through the cleft and cracked rocks to join the Tacon, a tributary of the Bienne, after about 4 kilometers.
