Hiking - Crossing paths

Enjoy a carefree stroll through our trees on the forest paths. Remember the days of the steam as you walk along the old railway tracks.
Hiking trails and railways intersect on this walk which, after an initial section through the woodland undergrowth, follows the line of the old Ussel-Felletin railway. Opened to the public in 1905, it facilitated transport of all kinds for the locals as well as for the soldiers at the Courtine camp.
The banks of the Diège can sometimes be flooded during rainy periods.
There is a shorter variant of 7.5 km. At point 5, turn left to follow the SNCF line that goes to the station. For this variant of the route, you can start at the station.
