Grands Traouïero Valley

Very nice hike through a mystical and almost jungle-like forest. Old trees, huge granite rocks, caves and a small pond are the right ingredients for a hike into the realm of fairy tales and legends.

If you are coming from the north, take the right turn at the lake so that you always have the lake on your left. This saves you some bottlenecks and climbing sections. You still need sturdy shoes because the path is very slippery when it rains.

The hike starts harmlessly, we follow an asphalt road that leads slightly uphill and on which several nice houses have been built. A junction takes us into the forest, the path becomes narrower and a first pond looks very promising. Then it gets bizarre, you can already think about whether something was wrong with breakfast. The photos can only reproduce it to a limited extent. What looks like rocks by the wayside is the hiking trail! From shoe size 35 you are lost here and the rocks are sometimes so narrow that you have to meander through and those who are taller than 1.60 m should be a semi-professional limbo dancer in order to be able to sneak through crouching. But every meter of this hike is a pleasure!

natural valley full of oaks and chestnuts between some mighty granite stones. Impressive is the consistently pleasant climate in this almost jungle-like valley.
