  1. From the parking area, take the forest track parallel to the N88. After a straight section, the track turns left, leading away from the road. Along the way, you'll find information panels describing the natural treasures of the forest.

  2. Take a path through the undergrowth to the right, which provides a short out-and-back detour to the Fairy Rock.

  3. Then, rejoin the main track to the right. On either side, you'll see granite boulders, and, to the right of the track, a menhir. You'll emerge onto a perpendicular track.

  4. Turn left until you reach a fork in the path, and then left again at the point where the paths diverge.

  5. Continue straight ahead on the wide track; the exploration of the forest's natural wonders continues. At the end, you'll return to the starting point.



Parking : Aire de pique-nique en bordure de la N 88, sur la gauche de la route,900 m après l’embranchement qui mène à St flour de-Mercoire
