From Yverdon through the Plaine de l’Orbe. Roman mosaics on the slopes, the Romanesque abbey church in Romainmôtier is serene. Your calf muscles are on fire but lovely deciduous forests soothe your soul.
After lively Yverdon, this route will take you through the plain of the river Orbe, where vegetables are grown in abundance. Awaiting you on the hillside are Roman mosaics and the silence of the imposing Romainmôtier Priory. You might feel the burn in your calves, but magnificent mixed woodland makes the journey to Bière, your destination for this leg, a pleasure nonetheless.
