This hike takes you to discover the cabornes, dry stone shelters typical of the Monts d’Or region. These huts were used by farmers to store their tools and rest. The hike offers panoramic views and passes through varied landscapes, including forests and fields. It’s an excellent way to discover the rural and natural heritage of the region.
