Hiking - The Oignin route by Laura
August 19, 2024 · Community
Très joli paysage mais attention le sentier est assez technique (parcours de trail) et le tour complet du lac fait bien plus que 8km selon une montre connectée (au moins 12km). Mais belle balade au milieu des bois, avec un ruisseau qui coupe le chemin. Très agréable aussi pour des chiens qui ont pu se tremper.

Hiking - The Oignin route by Dirk
August 22, 2023 · Community
Sehr schöne Wanderung rund um den Stausee. Meiste Zeit auf schmalem Naturpfad. Es geht immer ein bisschen auf und ab. Daher ist gutes Schuhwerk hilfreich. Besonders der südliche Teil ist sehr ruhig und naturnah. Bis auf das kleine Wasserkraftwerk am südlichen Wendepunkt. Wer Naturpfade liebt, ist hier richtig.
