Kanton Jura's Absolute Essentials

Kanton Jura features a landscape of deep canyons and limestone formations, including the Pichoux Gorges and the stalactite-filled Réclère Caves. The region’s history is preserved in the medieval streets of St. Ursanne and the 16th-century Jura Farmers Museum. Architectural landmarks range from the well-preserved Porrentruy Castle to the ruins of Montjoie and Morimont. Panoramic views of the Jura range and beyond are accessible via the mountain passes of Col des Rangiers and observation towers at Pleigne and Faux d’Enson.
