geography

The source of the Beune

The Beune rises from a karst spring southeast of Rougemontot in the Doubs department. It is a cave in the limestone rock below Départementsstraße  23 on the left slope of the valley. The cave portal is about 5 meters high. The accessible cave has two bends and ends after about 20 meters at a limestone tufa waterfall . There is a flooded basin above this waterfall. Behind it are siphons and constrictions. The source can have a high bed .

The Beune flows through Rougemontot in a north-westerly direction and parallel to Départementsstraße 23 to Cendrey . There it crosses the departmental border to Haute-Saône for about 250 m and flows north of the village as a left tributary into the Ognon .
