The River Orbe - Its journey via google maps
I recently visited the Vallorbe Caves in Switzerland, where the Orbe river flows through subterraneously and was just curious to find out what path the river takes to get there, and from which starting point.
Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland
Walk through the streets of Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland in this video. You will get a feel for this historic and important spa resort town located in Kanton Vaud near Lake Neuchâtel. While many Swiss towns containing lakes are usually organized around the lake, Yverdon is different. The town is about half an hour from the lake shores. However, the city was the recipient of the Wakker Prize in 2009 for efforts they made to connect the old town with the lake.
In addition to lake Neuchâtel, the natural features of the Jura mountains, Orbe plains, and the Brove hills define this town’s charm. They also create an idyllic setting for the thermal-spas (often recognized as Switzerland’s most important spas). These thermal springs are renowned for their high content of magnesium and Sulphur, as well as a beautifully renovated spa facilities and attached 4 star hotel. These structures are built upon historic Roman spas that recognized the healing benefits of these springs nearly 6000 years earlier.
Historically, Yverdon held significance in for the Roman Empire as it connected the Rhone and Rhine basins as well as the Rhone and the Danube and offered control over major routes like the Geneva-Avenches. The Roman Castrum (meaning strong hold) was a naval and military base designed to offer defense for the Roman Empire’ northeaster board along the Rhine. It featured huge ramparts and 15 masonry towers that spanned over the 5 acers. These features made Yverdon a civic center as well as a resort town and defense strategy. Barbarians conquered Italy in the 5th centrury and endangered Rome in the process. Because of this threat the Yverdon camp had to be abandoned. The residents of Eburodunum, who lived on the outskirts of the camp, overtook the Castrum.
If you visit Yverdon, you will not have shortage of things to do. There are a number of unusual museums to visit including, the Europe’s first Sifi Museum, a Swiss fashion museum, and a museum honoring Swiss pedagogue Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi who was connected to Jean-Jaques Rosseau. Additionally, as you will see in this video a few castles to tour including Savoy Castle (dating from the 14th century, a prominent landmark in the old town), Palace Pestalozzi, Yverdon Castle, Palace d’ armes, and Theater Benno Besson. In the summer you can also enjoy water sports and beautiful hiking.

Depuis 20 ans, Henri Pavillard accompagne les visiteurs dans les méandres des grottes de Vallorbe. Amoureux des montagnes suisses, Henri a changé de décor pour plonger dans ce lieu magique. Le nouvel épisode de « Rencontres vaudoises » est consacré à ce guide atypique... de 91 ans.
« Un jour, l’ancien directeur, Robert, m’a demandé si je voulais devenir guide à Vallorbe. Moi, j’étais pas tellement décidé... J’avais l’habitude de faire de la montagne, alors quand on m’a demandé de venir ici, vraiment j’ai hésité. Je me suis finalement laissé faire et je me suis attaché à ces grottes. » Le touchant entretien avec Henri Pavillard commence par cette confession. C’est vrai, Henri a hésité avant de devenir guide des grottes de Vallorbe. Pourtant, 20 ans après, ce dynamique nonagénaire arpente toujours ce lieu magique.
Sa passion ? Le contact avec les visiteurs. Ils ont tous les âges et viennent du monde entier. Les grottes de Vallorbe sont effectivement un important lieu touristique du canton. Façonnées durant des millénaires, elles sont considérées comme les grottes les plus intéressantes d’Europe.

Henri Pavillard has been a guide in the labyrinth of the Vallorbe Caves for 20 years. This former mountain guide exchanged his beloved Swiss mountains for this magical subterranean universe. The new episode of “Encounters in Vaud” is dedicated to this atypical, 91-year-old guide.
“One day, I was asked by Robert, the former director here, if I wanted to become a guide in Vallorbe. I wasn’t so keen at first... I was used to being a mountain guide, so when I was asked to come here, I hesitated for a while. Finally, I decided in favour of the caves and have grown attached to them.” The moving interview with Henri Pavillard starts with this confession. True, Henri hesitated before becoming a guide in the Vallorbe Caves. But 20 years later, the dynamic nonagenarian still shows visitors through this magical place.
His passion? The contact with visitors. They are of all ages and come from all over the world. The Vallorbe Caves are one of the major tourist attractions of our region: shaped for thousands of years, they are considered Europe's most interesting caves.

Seit 20 Jahren begleitet Henri Pavillard die Besucher durch die gewundenen Gänge der Höhlen von Vallorbe. Der ehemalige, leidenschaftliche Schweizer Bergführer ist nach einem Tapetenwechsel in diesen magischen Ort abgetaucht. Die neue Episode von „Begegnungen im Waadtland“ ist diesem atypischen, 91 Jahre alten Fremdenführer gewidmet.
„Einst fragte mich der ehemalige Direktor, Robert, ob ich nicht Führer in den Höhlen von Vallorbe werden wollte. Diese Entscheidung fand ich recht schwierig... Ich war ja an die Berge gewöhnt, und als man mich hierher bat, habe ich lange gezögert. Schlussendlich habe ich mich dafür entschieden. Mittlerweile sind mir diese Höhlen ans Herz gewachsen.“ Das rührende Gespräch mit Henri Pavillard beginnt mit diesem Geständnis. Ja, Henri hat gezögert, bevor er sich dafür entschied, Fremdenführer in den Höhlen von Vallorbe zu werden. Dennoch führt der rüstige Neunziger immer noch Besucher durch diesen magischen Ort.
Seine Leidenschaft? Der Kontakt mit den Besuchern. Diese sind jeden Alters und kommen aus der ganzen Welt. Tatsächlich sind die Höhlen von Vallorbe eine der bedeutendsten Touristenattraktionen des Kantons. Die über tausende von Jahren geformten Höhlen gelten als die interessantesten Europas.
