Your itinerary

Getting to the starting point to report a problem

Step 1: From the town hall parking lot

Go down the street towards the bar-restaurant "Le Mazuk" and pass in front of the hotel "Le Relais Mont Le Viaur" and the Post Office.
Cross the D922 carefully and take Route de la Pendarie opposite. At the intersection, turn right to house number 356 and turn right onto the path that descends into the woods (not shown on the map). Reach a fork, turn left, pass through the small parking lot, and head towards Moulin de Bouscal.

Stage 2: Moulin de Bouscal – Serène (river) – Tributary of the Aveyron

Go past the house, cross the bridge and climb the dirt road which first runs alongside the Serène and then branches off to the left. Continue until you reach a small road.

Step 3: Road junction

Turn left towards the hamlet of Toulzanes then go down to the right, via the Route de Cassurex until the D239.
Go back up to the right for 1 km.

Stage 4: Les Combes

Leave the main road by turning left towards Les Combes. Cross the area and go to a small crossroads at Burgas.

Step 5: Burgas

Go straight down to the left along a dirt road (Chemin du Pontal) for 500 m. Ignore the road that goes off to the right and continue down the road on the left, which becomes passable. Turn right at the next intersection, cross the small bridge at Moulin du Pontal and follow the path to a road that you follow on the right. Negotiate the bend and leave the road leading to Le Bosc on the left.

Step 6: Path to the left

A few dozen meters further, go directly up to the left on a dirt road for 1 km and return to the road you left just before. Continue to the left.

Step 7: D922

Cross the D922 carefully and immediately turn left onto Rue du Stade. Go past this and reach a crossroads at the entrance to Saint-André-de-Najac.

Step 8: Crossroads

Follow the small road straight ahead and pass the cemetery. Pass a group of houses on the left, arrive at the Impasse du Belvédère on the left and then take the Chemin de la Sablière on the right to emerge opposite the Post Office and the Town Hall. Turn right to return to the parking lot.
