Jura Mountains

The Jura Mountains go through 5 Swiss cantons, Vaud, Neuchatel, Fribourg, Bern, and Jura. The northern Jura is more heavily populated, and represent a distinct culture from the rest of French speaking Switzerland. The cities of the Northern Jura are where the famed Swiss watch industry took off in the 18th and 19th centuries, so tou can find there a lot of interesting watch-making related things to see.
