When we were on our way to the Alps of France, we didn't plan to do much sightseeing but we had a lot of time until we were able to check into our accommodation so we needed to kill time somehow. My friend found some random waterfall on a map and we decided to go and check it out.
The name is D'Angon Waterfall and it is located on the northern side of Lake Annecy in eastern France. It required a bit of a hike to reach it. Not much, I think it was 2 kilometers at the most from the parking lot.
Here are some views from the trail.
Lake Annecy
The trail was really cool actually. Walked inside the huge cracks of the cliff. I'm not entirely sure if they have cut out the space or if it's natural. Inside the cliffs, there are many of these spaces that occur naturally but maybe they have made this one larger where the trail goes. Just need to be careful not to hit your head.
I had not seen any pictures of this waterfall previously and I was quite amazed when I arrived. Didnt think I see something like this. The waterfall was pretty high and fell down on the side of the cliff into the abyss below.
A canyon that water has carved over a long period of time.
This is a panorama of 2 horizontal shots. The waterfall was big enough to not fit in one frame.
Layers of rock.
This is where the trail goes.
There are also some other waterfalls. This is one of them.
It was time to start going back. The trail mostly goes upwards and it was a really sweaty walk because I was wearing a jacket for some reason. The trail near the waterfall is very muddy and slippery too if it has been raining recently and rocky in places.
Overall it was really cool waterfall and I'm glad we got to see it while on our way to the Alps.
