    Tips

    Here the cycle path passes near the natural reserve of the "giants' pots", geological formations characterized by pools or circular cavities present in the river beds or rocky masses. These round pits are often created by the erosive action of water and sediment traveling at high speeds. The phenomenon occurs when debris such as pebbles or stones are dragged by the current and, circling, burrow into the rocky riverbed over time. These formations are called "giant kettles" because of their resemblance to giant pots carved into the rock. They are often observable in areas with rivers or streams characterized by strong currents.
