Beschreibung

Der Hügel der Schäferei, der seit den 80er Jahren als empfindlicher Naturraum eingestuft ist und dem Departement Pyrénées Atlantiques gehört, stellt für die Einwohner von Cambo les Bains eine grüne Klammer inmitten einer urbanisierten Gegend dar. Das Schloss, das einst den Berg überragte, ist heute verschwunden, doch der damals angelegte englische Garten begeistert mit seiner bemerkenswerten Vielfalt an exotischen Baumarten nach wie vor Jung und Alt.
Auf dem Gipfel, nachdem Sie einen atemberaubenden Blick auf die baskischen Berge genossen und die Allee aus hundertjährigen Bäumen durchwandert haben, erreichen Sie das pädagogische Gebäude "Elondare". Dieses Gebäude ist eine Zusammensetzung aus "Elorri Mendi", was "Weißdornberg" bedeutet, und "ondarea", was "das Erbe" bedeutet.

Schritte

Ascent of the hill

The route begins on a paved road. After 100 meters, a children’s playground will be on the left. Continue along the road, passing a private property entrance on the left, until you reach the start of a steep dirt path that ascends for about a hundred meters before becoming more gradual. The trail continues under a pleasant forest cover with various tree species (pedunculate oaks, chestnut trees, wild cherries, pines, etc.). Reach the summit plateau after 670 meters of progress. Follow the path under an avenue of oaks until you reach the Elondare building.

In the woods

Cross the track and take the grassy path in front of you to follow a fence on the right. Enter the woods, pass a piece of equipment on the right, and then descend to the right after a bench onto a wide trail. At the bottom of the descent, turn left and follow the departmental road below on the right. After 400 meters on a wide dirt trail, you will reach an intersection with a road.

Small section of road

Turn left. Stay alert to road traffic on the 300-meter stretch of road, then turn left onto a wide track.

Beech forest

Continue on the track, which narrows, passing a water collection building on the left. The path continues through beautiful specimens of pollarded beech trees. Keep going straight until you reach a section of road, which you should follow for 300 meters to return to the starting parking lot of the hike.

Sehenswürdigkeiten

Elondare

Designed entirely of wood and shaped like a leaf, its name comes from the contraction of "Elorri Mendi," which means "the mountain of hawthorn," and "ondarea," meaning "heritage." This building is intended to welcome the public for the purpose of raising awareness about biodiversity. Visitors will find information about the Sensitive Natural Area of the Colline de la Bergerie, its history, and its management. The department of Pyrénées-Atlantiques offers nature activities there, including the observation of bees in educational hives installed by the "Nature et Abeilles" association from Larressore.

Pollarded beech trees

A species that thrives in cool and humid areas, the beech tree finds all the conditions it needs to flourish on the northern slope. The few beautiful specimens present here are pollarded. Also known as "trognes," these trees have undergone successive low cuts for decades, giving them their distinctive shapes. These cuts, often made to provide firewood, result in scars that appear as bulges on the tree. The presence of these trees is a boon for saproxylic insects (those that feed on dead wood) and, consequently, for birds like woodpeckers that feed on their larvae.
