Hiking Corrèze

A great classic for hiking in the region. This 17 km long walking and mountain bike circuit penetrates into the heart of the Limousin Mountains through the forests, crossing springs, clearings and thousand-year-old peat bogs. Depending on the starting point you choose, you will either make the full ascent to Mont Bessou or you will enjoy the view of distant horizons and then plunge into this ocean of nature. From one valley to another, don't miss the opportunity to discover the sites of heritage and tourist interest of the commune of Meymac in a different way: the Longeyroux peat bog, the Farges viaduct, the panoramic tower of Mont Bessou, the Gallo-Roman ruins of Les Cars.

Whether you're alone, family or friends, whether you choose hiking, cycling, or horse riding, there's no doubt that this nature exit will satisfy your needs. This journey starts at the parking station of Eyrein and does not have a great difficulty. For the historical part, the hamlet of the Fields of Brach was the theatre, on 3 June 1944, of a violent ambush on a battle; since 2011, a memorial stele pays tribute to the men who lost their lives.
