Pierre Fendue from Cochenet - hiking trail
Description
Stroll through the forest to discover a geological wonder: the Pierre Fendue.
Discover this trail in the heart of unspoilt nature. This hilly trail begins gently in the forest.
As you walk, the path becomes more demanding as you approach the Flée bridge, promising a more sporting experience for those who persevere. After the bridge, prepare for a steep climb to the Pierre Fendue.
The return journey takes the same route. Whether you're an experienced hiker or a leisurely stroller, this trail is the perfect way to get away from it all.
