    Tips

    The Huveaune which takes its source in the Sainte-Baume massif, has the particularity of being equipped with water bottles. These basins of water form series of small dams which follow one another in cascades. Rivers from karst massifs like the Sainte-Baume easily dissolve limestone to form these amusing concretions. The resulting spooky landscapes often amaze hikers who discover them for the first time.

      Here rises an arm of the Huveaune river. A few hundred meters away, there is also a small waterfall on another arm. The source just ripples out of the ground. The highlight is above all the way here, along the sinter basins that have formed over time.

        The HUVEAUNE does not originate – at least according to Wikipedia – in these calcareous sinter basins, but in the Grotte de Castelette, which is of course also a hiking highlight in the system, see =>> komoot.com/de-de/highlight/627453

          The Huveaune is really beautiful all the way!
          The passages with the pools are splendid!
          Leave early it's very busy!
