Route details
Description
Sporty hike around Mergieux. Passages with a significant difference in altitude. This circuit is accessible by car or via the GR36, the Way of St. James. A good part of the circuit is in the forest. Alongside the deciduous trees (e.g.: hornbeam, chestnut, ash, etc.) that formed the forest cover until the beginning of the XNUMXth century, some conifers have been planted. The forests around Mergieux are managed by the ONF (French Forestry Office). Circuit to be avoided after a strong storm. Very wooded and very steep; trees fall there!
