Description of the walk

Start : Clédat village

(S/E) From Clédat village, head North out of the village, leaving the church behind you on the right. At the junction, turn right (North-East) and continue for 200m.

(1) At the intersection, take the path right (East) towards the Rock, which affords a fine view over the surrounding forest.

(2) Retrace your steps from the Rock to the intersection (1). Take the little track to the right (North),which joins a wider lane coming in from the left. After a bend to the left and then to the right, you see a pond and pass to the right of it. Cross the dam and follow on round the pond. The track then turns right, away from the pond.

(3) At the next junction, turn onto a narrower track on the left (South), past a patch of cleared forest.

(4) At the next junction, turn left (South) on a minor winding road that leads back to Clédat village (S/E).

It is difficult to follow the route on the map because of forestry operations, with major logging work in progress.
Beautiful village. Beautiful views, very beautiful nature (flowers, forests, etc.)

This was a beautiful tour that we took this autumn, enjoying the beautiful colours of the trees reflected in the waters of the lake.
