The walk starts at the car park of the Leignecq inn, where you can easily park. A sign at the top of the car park helps you find your bearings before setting off. It also features a QR code allowing you to download the walk onto your mobile phone and enjoy the benefits of Visorando.
The route has its own signposting, “Sentier du plan d’eau”, supplemented by yellow and green markings, the colours of the municipality.
(S/E) With the car park behind you, follow the signposts and markings. Turn right onto a grassy path. You’ll come out onto a road; follow it to the left for about fifty metres.
(1) When the road turns left, continue straight on along a path and pass in front of the Saint-Roch chapel. Follow the wide path through the forest, ignoring a path on the right. You’ll reach a road; follow it to the right to reach the hamlet of Cubelle.
(2) First turn right then left to pass the foot of a cross and take a path that leads downhill. Cross the Bezan stream and climb up the other side. At the junction (elevation 891), take the path on the right. Ignore the turn-offs to the right and arrive at a crossroads in the hamlet of Le Cros (wash house on the left).
(3) Turn slightly left onto a small road, then take thefirst left. Follow a small road northwards. You’ll come out onto another road; follow it to the right. You’ll then pass a well topped with a cross.
(4) Immediately afterwards, turn left (follow the signs for “Retour Leignecq”). Pass the Ébisaille wash house. Turn right at the next junction (hamlet of Reffiecq).
(5) After about 40 metres (bread oven), turn left onto a path that leads downhill. Turn right onto this path and continue downhill to the lake.
(6) Turn left, ignore a path branching off to the left (900m mark), follow a track and walk alongside the lake on your right. Pass an old pitch kiln.
(7) Shortly afterwards, at a junction, take a path on the left that leads into the woods. At a crossroads (not shown on the map), turn right. You will come out onto a road; follow it for about a hundred metres.
(1) Turn right with the road and, after about 50 metres, take the path on the right that you took on the way out. You will come to a road; follow it to the left until you reach the car park where you started (S/E).
