Nice hike, just lots of brambles, so bring a pair of pruning shears ^^.

A good walk, very rough start with brambles and another difficult section with brambles and water/mud, "pacerelle" two tones of smooth trees
Definitely not to be attempted in rainy weather
I don't particularly recommend it

Hello, everyone. We had planned to do this hike by motorbike. The problem is that there is nowhere to park a motorbike at the starting point. I think it would be a good idea to create a criterion or provide information when registering routes. Thank you in advance and happy hiking to all.

Very nice hike, but the vegetation was very dense along the Dragne, especially the brambles. However, the children loved the adventure 😉 despite the scratches.
You can return directly to the starting point by continuing straight on at point 7, then turning right onto the road.

This route is not marked... What's more, we couldn't complete it because the vegetation was too thick in one place... Before the Ruchette mill, I suppose, which we couldn't see... What a shame...!!! But the landscape is magnificent along the banks of this little river, La Dragne.

A lovely little hike. Don't forget to bring your binoculars, as there are lots of birds to watch. At point 4, the path has been badly damaged by work in the forest. Don't be put off, push through the brambles, wet areas and other minor obstacles for about 100 metres to reach the path that will take you to the house indicated at point 5. At point 6, "leave the road and take the path on the right" means go between two buildings immediately after the bridge. The map can be confusing. Finally, when you reach the end of this last climb, you will arrive at Avaux at point 7. If you are a little tired, you can go directly to La Pompie without passing through the last three points in the description.

Hello,
A lovely walk in the Morvan, through beautiful beech forests and along a river.
We also crossed meadows with herds of Charolais cattle.
As mentioned in the description, the little bridge is still there (thanks, Dédé and Doudou!).
Thank you.
