Hike taken on 7 May 2026 with a group of 22 people aged between 60 and 79
A lovely walk in the forest.
However, between points 7 and 8, the path was narrow, muddy and overgrown with scrub.
A lovely, easy hike that the whole group enjoyed.

A walk that took 2½ hours, including a break for a snack and various stops to explore the forest and watch the little birds through binoculars
I would therefore say that this walk is about 8 km

Note that between points 7 and 8, the path narrows considerably at the start, with some ruts, before widening into a lovely track

A beautiful variety of paths and landscapes, with a few slopes accessible to all. Although it had rained heavily in the previous days, the trails were easy to navigate, with a few exceptions where we had to avoid muddy areas by going through the woods. This outing took place in winter, but it must also be very pleasant in other seasons.
