Description

Discovering the Thaurion Gorges, a site listed since 1983 and classified as Natura 2000, is like diving into the heart of nature and human history.From the bridge, take the path along the river until it rises up to an old bridge.At this bridge, the path forks to the left.Turn left at the crow's foot to start the return trip. This wide path climbs, and then you reach a ledge.Take the first pathway on the left that goes down to the river, then turn right before you get there. The path goes up in parallel with the road.At the intersection, do not return to the starting point on your left, continue straight ahead by the trail that joins a wide path and then, immediately, the road.Take the road on the left, then a few metres further on, the first trail on the right that climbs into the woods to a small heather moor.Once on the heathland, cross it by turning to the left following the ridge. Go down a narrow path that joins the road.Take the road to the right to finish the walk.
