Loop between Ouroux and Montsauche-les-Settons via the Chemin du Tacot

Ce trajet est composé de deux parties. La première se fait par les chemins vallonnés de la commune d'Ouroux-en-Morvan et de Montsauche-les-Settons, tandis que la seconde partie vous permet de parcourir l'intégralité du Chemin du Tacot allant de Montsauche-les-Settons à Ouroux-en-Morvan. Ce chemin était, de 1901 à 1939, une des parties de la voie du Tacot, qui assurait la liaison entre Corbigny et Seaulieu. Cette ancienne portion de voie a été ouverte par les bénévoles de l'association, et différents travaux y ont été effectués afin de permettre la bonne circulation des randonneurs.
The Dolmen Chevresse in the Forêt de Breuil-Chenue

A predominantly forested route that starts along the charming river Le Vignan and quickly reaches the Dolmen Chevresse. The route then leads into the Forêt de Breuil-Chenue, where firs and beeches are more common than the oaks that once gave the uplands their name.
Oppidum du Vieux Dun and Étang de la Creuse

The commune of Dun-les-Places owes its name to the existence, in Celtic times, of an oppidum, a sort of stronghold built into the natural landscape and protected by two lines of defence. This hike takes in the site of this oppidum. Along the way, you'll pass through a typical Morvan landscape of meadows, ponds and deciduous and coniferous woods.
The Pérouse rock - The Menéfrier Islands

A getaway to a natural environment, with superb gardens planted in this vegetal and mineral setting. The rocks are there, the islands are in name only, but at times it seems as if we're a long way from the urbanised world.
The Chaumeçon Reservoir

Of the 7 large lakes in the Morvan, all of which flow into the Yonne River via various tributaries, this one, fed by the Chalaux, feeds the Crescent Reservoir. The water collected along the way is added to the Cure. This system helps to regulate the Yonne, the 'enfant terrible' of the Seine, as the people of Icaunais like to call it.
The Morvan mountains south of Brassy

Ah, the Morvan! Some people call the mountains of the Morvan uplands "molehills", and while they're not very tall on this route, they do know how to tire the calves.Hiking through forests of Douglas fir, beech and other hardwoods on sandy or granite paths, with or without plant cover, but with prevalent animal and plant life, offering some very fine views from these hills with their unique horizons.
A loop around the Morvan balconies starting from the hamlet of Huis Blin

This loop hike takes you from the forested areas west of Brassy to the more open countryside around Gâcogne and Vauclaix, with open views towards Lormes and Corbigeois. No refreshments en route, unless you make a diversion via the market town of Gâcogne - check by telephone beforehand that the inn is open. Can also be done from Lavault or Vauclaix. The climbs are shadier in the recommended direction.

A short hike where, after playing leapfrog with the streams that run through Anost, you climb through the forest to a beautiful viewpoint dominated by the statue of Notre-Dame de l'Aillant.
