Departure from Saint-Mesmin (Dordogne) (Dordogne)
Set off from Saint-Mesmin, a hub for technical but magnificent hikes. Explore the superb Forêt Domaniale de Born and enjoy a bite to eat on a stone table by the Étang de Born. Take a tour of the hills before descending into the Auvézère valley to test your skills in the face of nature on a wild trail that will take you back to your starting point. The last part of this hike is strongly discouraged for beginners. Don't panic, an alternative, marked route is suggested in the description: don't take any unnecessary risks.

This route is reserved for experienced hikers and is as breathtaking as it is technical. From Savignac, take the wild trails along the Auvézère to Saint-Mesmin. Then return more leisurely via the plain, admiring the famous Savignac forges along the way. Some trails are steep and can be dangerous.
