Advice

Ce chemin compte une portion commune balisée en jaune avec l’itinéraire « Sommet des Agriers » de Lamazière-Haute. Bien suivre le balisage.A proximité du camp militaire de La Courtine, des tirs ont lieu régulièrement. Rassurez-vous, ils ne se déroulent qu’à l’intérieur de l’enceinte militaire.

Access

Be careful to find the starting point because St-Martial is made up of several villages, including Sarsoux. From La Courtine, follow the D 982 towards Ussel then follow the D 8 towards St-Martial. Continue for 4 km and then turn left towards Sarsoux Town Hall

Ambiance

This hike takes you to explore the forest of Châteauvert, a massif dominated by deciduous trees. Close to the highest point of the Creuse (932 m), we are in the presence of one of the highest beech forests in the region. On the way back, admire the tower of the ancient Château Châteauvert, which is mirrored in the pond.
