The lac de Joux with rowing boats on the shore

Lac de Joux, Vaud

The lac de Joux, at about 1000 m above sea level in the Jura. The lake is fed by the river Orbe, but has no surface outflow. Instead its water seeps through the limestone to reemerge about four kilometers further on, after passing through a system of caves.
