From Saint-Nolff to the Chapel of Saint-Colombier
A refreshing circular walk, featuring two unmarked forest sections; best undertaken in light winds due to the risk of falling trees. Plan your route to ensure an enjoyable experience: the path, which is sometimes narrow, may meet wider tracks and pass through undergrowth; note the waypoints, the route’s proximity to the road network (D135, C1, C4) and its junctions with it. The route markings on the ground are generally clear as it is used by joggers. This guide is intended for visual navigation, which requires careful attention. For a first-time walk, the use of a smartphone is recommended.
