Hiking trail - La cuvette glaciaire

Description

Hiking trail "The glacial basin".

The village is situated on a tongue of schist in the relief and dominates an ancient glacial valley on both sides. It is surrounded by a fortified enclosure called The Fort, the gate of which still remains. The route overlooks and skirts the glacial basin of Leynhac, a rare phenomenon in the Châtaigneraie. You will also discover beautiful old houses in the hamlets you pass through.
This fact sheet is one of 55 available individually (€0.50) at each Visitors Bureau of the Châtaigneraie Cantalienne or to be downloaded from the Cantal Rando & Découverte app.
