Through the lavender fields of Provence by Thomas
June 23, 2022 · Community
Tolle Tour - mit einer Ausnahme wie beschrieben. Das erste angekündigte Feld direkt an der ersten Abzweigung (mit der Ruine) ist inzwischen ein Kornfeld. Aber schon nach der weiteren Linkskurve erscheint linker Hand ein erstes schönes Lavendelfeld. Dann gilt es (wie auch beschrieben), etwas durchzuhalten und den Weg mit dem seitlichen Baumbewuchs zu geniessen. Nach der Kehre und dem Aufstieg ist es dann einfach nur "wow" - Lavendelfelder satt die alle Sinne ansprechen!

Through the lavender fields of Provence by Christoph

Wir sind die Tour Mitte Ende Juli gegangen und waren angetan von der Ruhe abseits der touristischen Ecken. Insgesamt ist die Strecke einfach zu begehen gewesen ohne großartige Höhenunterschiede. In der ersten Hälfte läuft man in einer tieferen Ebene sodass es während der Mittagszeit gut schattig war. Ebenso waren kaum Autogeräusche wahrzunehmen. In der zweiten Hälfte läuft man über ein höheres Plateau zurück, sodass man etwas mehr der Sonne ausgesetzt ist. Hier hatten wir tolle Aussichten, leider waren zu dem Zeitpunkt auch schon einige Lavendelfelder abgeerntet. Eine klare Empfehlung für eine entspannte, schöne und ruhige Wanderung.
