A walk in the heart of a nature reserve!To start the hike, go behind the park cottage and walk into the meadow as far as the big holly.Take the track to the right at the first crossroads and continue straight ahead.At the second crossroads, turn left.At the third, continue straight ahead, walk on alongside the meadow and go through the spruce plantation.From the viewpoint over the Auvergne mountains and the eastern edge of the Millevaches plateau, continue by crossing the forest again by a track that leads to Le Puy des Pouges. Just before the amateur radio antenna, there is an information panel on the trail to tell you about the moorland and its birds. Continue on the track alongside the fence to the right or left depending on where the sheep are. Go to the side where the fences are open. Continue on a wide track, leaving two paths on your right.100m before the D36 take a right turn. Leave the first road on the left, and at the next crossroads take the one opposite. At the next left, go back along the track you started on, which leads back to the big holly and allows you to enter the meadow just behind the Maison du Parc."

Trail not accessible to people with reduced mobility and strollers. Walking shoes/trainers strongly recommended. An orientation table gives details about the panorama and also lets you listen to the songs of different birds via Q-Codes: so don't forget your smartphone!
13.5 km from Meymac, take the D36. 25 km from Bugeat, take the D979 and then the D36. 40 km from Aubusson, take the D23 then the D36.
Between conifers, heathers and gentians, the route looks pleasant! A great introduction to exploring the Millevaches plateau.
