In the world of horses"It is not always an advantage to have a sportsman for a husband. Fortunately, the countryside of the Franches-Montagnes is very varied. There are different possibilities for all levels. It was therefore no problem for me to follow my better half to Le Roselet on our first bike tour last spring. The route is actually very ‘family-friendly’!"

The peat bog or upland moor extends over 56 hectares and has a nine-metre layer of peat accumulated over 12,000 years (after the end of the ice age). Most of the reserve lies within the territory of the town of Saignelégier but some of it also extends into the territory of the Jura towns of Bémont and Montfaucon, as well as Tramelan in the canton of Bern. It is classified as a marshland of national importance. In the 17th century, an artificial dam was built to operate a mill.Étang de la Gruère (Guillaume Kaufmann @Rogg4n)Etang de la Gruère (Gerry Nitsch)Jura Road, Etang de la Gruère (Jonathan Fuchs)Etang de la Gruère (Alain Perret)Etang de la Gruère (Gerry Nitsch)1048.8895263672Retirement homes for horsesCreated by Hans Schwarz in 1958, the Foundation for the Horse is a retirement home for horses, ponies and donkeys which it welcomes on four different sites. A popular excursion destination, Le Roselet was the first to open its doors, followed by Le Jeanbrenin, Maison Rouge and Les Murs, the fourth home to open in October 2022. All four sites can be visited freely. The Roselet and Maison Rouge sites offer, in addition to a guided tour on request for groups, a playground for children and the possibility of eating out.
On the site of Maison Rouge, in 2336 Les Bois, an exhibition on the Franches-Montagnes horse can be visited free of charge every day from 9 am to 5 pm.Retirement homes for horses Retirement homes for horses Retirement homes for horses 1004.4462280273Nature CentreLocated near the Etang de la Gruère nature reserve, the Les Cerlatez Nature Centre aims to raise awareness and educate people about the environment.
