The Chavanettes waterfalls are located near the medieval town of Rue in Fribourg. They are also known as the Broye waterfalls in reference to the river that shapes them. These charming waterfalls measuring 4m high and 30m long are an idyllic spot for a family or friends outing on a river during the summer. It’s ideal for a picnic in the middle of an exuberant nature (not equipped though). You have the possibility of making a fire.
Rue is a tiny medieval town situated on the top of a rocky hill where the fortress lays. Rue and its castle are mentioned for the first time in 1152, when the family of the Lords of Rue lived there. Today, the town invites you to explore its medieval streets, monuments and lush nature and its heritage. You can take a short walk within the walls and at the foot of the hill, or a longer hike to discover the charms in the region of Rue. You can reach the waterfalls of Chavanettes by foot.
