Hiking - Le jardin de la Montagne

Le Jardin de la Montagne is the nickname for the village of Cassuèjouls. This fairly easy hike will lead you to discover an iron-rich spring.
As soon as you leave the village of Cassuèjouls, you will be captivated by the stunning views of the Monts du Cantal and the Aubrac. While the views certainly require some effort over the first few kilometers, you will be rewarded when passing near Goat Lake, one of the most beautiful lakes in the area. Before returning to your starting point, discover the local vernacular heritage: the iron-rich spring, the bread oven, the church, its cross, and its narrow streets.
