A superb section of play amidst the rocky terrain. Take this short detour to admire the ruins of Linchamps Castle, a medieval fort whose origins are uncertain due to a lack of documentation.

We just completed the hike, which is magnificent. Physical but superb. 14.7 km and 490 km of elevation gain. A little info: The Naux footbridge is closed due to severe corrosion. Probably for quite some time, unfortunately. It's impossible to cross. We must continue to the Thilay bridge.
