Saliens Waterfall
This is the meeting of the Gigeole and a lava flow: The Gigeole, a tributary of the Sioule, meets the Olby lava flow to the north, northwest of the town of Nébouzat at the level of the village of Saliens. It thus creates the waterfall of the same name.
Located in the commune of Nébouzat (63), the Saliens waterfall can be discovered via a short walk. Thanks to the volcanic walls covered in vegetation, the Saliens waterfall offers a colorful and exotic setting.
