Marked walking trail no. 5 with red rectangle markings
This 5 km hike takes you on a journey of discovery through the flora and fauna of the Sclaigneaux Nature Reserve. A listed site and NATURA 2000 area, the Reserve impresses with its wild beauty and the variety of ecosystems it brings together in a relatively small area of around 50 hectares. During your walk, you will see three ecosystems: heathland, limestone grasslands and forest. If you wish, there is a shortcut that allows you to avoid the steep paths of the Loysse valley. This will reduce the walk from 5 km to just 3 km. If you continue towards Loysse, you will leave the Reserve and descend into the valley. You will then follow the stream back up via the paths and road. You will cross a small ford before reaching a pretty forest path that will take you back to the Reserve and your starting point.
